Former Formula 1 engineer Rob Smedley has described Ferrari's Miami Grand Prix upgrades as slightly soul-destroying. He warned that the team risks entering a negative development loop after McLaren gained more performance from its own updates.
Speaking on the High Performance Racing podcast, Smedley said the situation starts from a technical standpoint and forces the team into reverse engineering if wind tunnel and simulation tools fail to match on-track results. This process, he noted, delays further development work that should already be underway in the tunnel.
