Ferrari overcame the first hurdle before this year’s season Formula 1. New car Sebastian Vettl in Charles Leclerc is at FIA on company premises Branded close to Milana passed all required 15 Crash Tests and thus fulfilled the basic conditions for appearance in the season 2020. Team is thus the second team after Racing Point, which passed successfully Crash test season 2020. A few days ago, it became known that this test was also performed by the team Alfa Romeo, but their race car this test did not pass.

About the heir SF90 not much is known at the time, but from Italy we can hear the first details. Because they are policy also gume remained stable on the race car before major changes for the year 2021 they do not expect any revolutionary solution. It will be about increasing the burden aerodynamics, without compromising its effect. One area they will focus on is gearbox housingwhich is supposed to be smaller and lighter. According to Italian colleagues from Corriere della Sera, it goes around here 30 millimeters, which should consequently lead to shorter wheelbases and this is also expected to affect their partners Alfa Romeo in Haas. They are also expected to increase at the same time inclination angle and thus set out in that direction Red Bull Racing, which is often on the road with a larger angle of inclination.

Nadzor hydraulic suspension supposed to improve aerodynamics v slow bends and with that, the car will become even more so stable. Last year's race car SF90 he often struggled with instability pri braking before bends, which caused problems with front tires. That they will be ass when braking did more stable, this will suit the driving style very well Sebastian Vettella. But as is always the case, it will the truth showed on the track.
