Rob Smedley advierte sobre las desmoralizadoras mejoras de Ferrari

El ex ingeniero de Fórmula 1 Rob Smedley ha descrito las mejoras de Ferrari para el Gran Premio de Miami como ligeramente desmoralizadoras. Advirtió que el equipo corre el riesgo de entrar en un ciclo de desarrollo negativo después de que McLaren obtuviera un mayor rendimiento de sus propias actualizaciones.

En el podcast High Performance Racing, Smedley comentó que la situación comienza desde un punto de vista técnico y obliga al equipo a realizar una ingeniería inversa si las herramientas de túnel de viento y simulación no coinciden con los resultados en pista. Este proceso, señaló, retrasa el trabajo de desarrollo posterior que ya debería estar en marcha en el túnel.
