Rob Smedley avverte sui frustranti aggiornamenti della Ferrari

L'ex ingegnere di Formula 1 Rob Smedley ha descritto gli aggiornamenti della Ferrari per il Gran Premio di Miami come leggermente frustranti. Ha avvertito che la scuderia rischia di entrare in un circolo vizioso di sviluppo dopo che la McLaren ha ottenuto prestazioni migliori dai propri aggiornamenti.

Intervenendo nel podcast High Performance Racing, Smedley ha affermato che la situazione parte da un punto di vista tecnico e costringe la squadra al reverse engineering se gli strumenti di galleria del vento e di simulazione non corrispondono ai risultati in pista. Questo processo, ha sottolineato, ritarda l'ulteriore lavoro di sviluppo che dovrebbe essere già in corso nella galleria del vento.
