Scuderia Ferrari conducts final test of 2023 F1 tires at Mugello for the team. Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz ran.
The 2023 F1 tire test has been assigned to each team twice, and Scuderia Ferrari is being tested in April with Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.
Ferrari’s F1 drivers have tested a lot in this test, but the focus is mainly on 18-inch tires, which have a more rounded shape than the 2022 version.
Pirelli’s F1 engineering team, led by Mario Isola, must also respond to the increased downforce as the F1 team better understands porpoising and how to fight it.
The FIA (International Automobile Federation) has set strict rules for these F1 tire tests, and F1 teams will need to use the cars they ran in this season’s race, but with the same setup throughout the day of the test. Must be used.
Ferrari F1 itself got into trouble in April and allegedly used parts that did not meet the regulations, but the FIA chose not to punish them.
The F1 driver is unaware of the setup he is running and the data collected by Pirelli will be shared with the rest of the F1 team.
However, this test should have been a good practice for both drivers for the upcoming F1 British Grand Prix, as the fast corners of the Mugello Circuit are more reminiscent of Silverstone than Montreal.
Charles Leclerc, in particular, has finished six races unwinned and hopes to change his fate at the F1 British Grand Prix.
Charles Leclerc is currently chasing both Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez in the Drivers’Championship, with Red Bull 76 points ahead of Ferrari in the Constructors’ Championship.
At the F1 Canadian Grand Prix, Charles Leclerc was penalized for replacing the F1 power unit, but finished in 5th place to minimize the damage.
