After a disappointing start to the season and spring cleaning, Scuderia Ferrari is redoubling its efforts to make as much progress as possible. It does so with enormous commitment on many fronts. This was successfully demonstrated by the changes made between Canada and Austria, with various aerodynamic and suspension improvements. Developments a Grand Prix ahead of schedulewhich help, among other things, to achieve a floor height more in keeping with the car's design.
In addition to these multiple evolutions, the recent aerodynamic configuration introduced in Spain has improved the SF-23's pace. And, according to the latest information from Frédéric Vasseur, the stable has no plans to stop updating to focus on next year.
On the Silverstone circuit, where new Pirelli tires are making their debut, a new rear wing specification could arrive, along with some modifications to the diffuser.

Waiting for the 10th F1 championship 2023 is a big one, as it involves an important test to validate the correct operation and correlation of the latest developments between the simulation and the track.
A break with the Binotto method

Rather than abandon a failed project to focus on next year, he chose the complicated but potentially more profitable route: study the SF-23, identify its qualities and shortcomings, then correct them. But this is not an easy choice to make in an era of capped budgets, when all the changes we make have to work and deliver significant results...
To be continued at Silverstone!
It was stupid to ask Sainz to stay behind Leclerc when he was faster. Putting Leclerc as winner Number 1 at Ferrari announced nothing good because if he's good in qualifying... in the race it's the opposite.
