F1 – Ferrari ‘s Struggle in Singapore: Tire Drama and Front Wing Breakdown by Riccardo Romanelli!
Dear NewsF1 readers, welcome to another episode of RaceTech, where we dive deep into the technical insights of Formula 1, dissecting key updates before and after the Grands Prix. Today, we’re focusing on the aftermath of the Singapore Grand Prix, where Lando Norris clinched a thrilling victory.
Our special guest, engineer Riccardo Romanelli—an expert in World Racing Car and co-author of “Endurance: From Group C to Hybrid Prototypes”—joins us to analyze three key aspects of Ferrari’s performance over the weekend: tire issues, the new front wing design, and the surprising flexibility of F1 cars.
1. Ferrari’s Tire Struggles in Qualifying
During the Singapore GP qualifying, both Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc struggled with their tires. Sainz hit the wall, and Leclerc battled to get his tires into the optimal temperature range. But what exactly does this “temperature window” mean for the tires?
As Romanelli explains, the temperature window is crucial for maximizing grip and performance, particularly in qualifying. Ferrari, although known for lower tire wear, struggles to heat the tires adequately. This leads to reduced grip and slower lap times, severely impacting their qualifying performance.
2. Ferrari’s New Front Wing: Innovation or Setback?
The new front wing design of the Ferrari F1 car was another hot topic over the weekend. This modification has raised questions among fans and experts alike about its effectiveness. Romanelli suggests that this aerodynamic update could impact not only downforce efficiency but also tire management—an already critical issue for Ferrari.
3. The Flexibility Factor: What’s Behind the Recent Scrutiny?
We close with a surprising analysis: the flexibility of the cars. According to Marco Coricelli, a metrology and measurement expert, there’s more to the recent debate about F1 car flexibility than meets the eye. Is Ferrari under investigation for this? This is a topic we’ll be closely monitoring in future races.
