Rob Smedley warnt vor frustrierenden Ferrari-Upgrades

Der ehemalige Formel-1-Ingenieur Rob Smedley hat die Upgrades von Ferrari beim Großen Preis von Miami als leicht frustrierend bezeichnet. Er warnte davor, dass das Team in eine negative Entwicklungsschleife geraten könnte, nachdem McLaren durch eigene Updates mehr Leistung erzielen konnte.

Im Podcast High Performance Racing sagte Smedley, dass die Situation aus technischer Sicht beginne und das Team zum Reverse Engineering zwinge, wenn die Ergebnisse aus Windkanal und Simulation nicht mit den Daten auf der Strecke übereinstimmten. Dieser Prozess, so merkte er an, verzögere weitere Entwicklungsarbeiten, die im Windkanal eigentlich bereits im Gange sein sollten.
