Ferrari 2024 F1 car set for "tenth and a half" boost after development milestone

The 676 has met the 798kg weight limit, report, the first time that Ferrari have achieved s൩uch a feat with a new car since the ground-effect regulations were introduced.
By contrast, last season’s SF-23 was 6kꦜg above the weight limit.
By lightening this sea♚son’s car, technical director Enrico Cardile has hit a major target for this winter’s development.
The body of the car, the narrower gearbox and the battery were all area♔s which have been made lighter.
Therefore Ferrari’s development could be wꦦorth “a te𒉰nth and a half” of a second of lap time on a track like Barcelona, the report estimates.
That is based on 10kg of 🐓weight bein𝄹g worth approximately three tenths.
The lighter 676 should also help to preserve the tyres, which w🔜as another goal for Ferrari.
There is quiet confidence at Maranello ahead of the F1 2024 campaign although “no one dares to make a comparison of the 676 with the SF-23”, 🍰the rep🦩ort states.
But wind tunnel and simulator data are giving Ferrari reꦆason to dream.
They have already ꦜpassed their first FIA cras🎃h test, while Red Bull failed theirs (albeit only because they chose to test a more extreme nose).
Ferrari will unveil the 676 at Fioraඣno on Fe🐷bruary 13.
The Scuderia have not crowned a F൲ormul♒a 1 champion since Kimi Raikkonen in 2007.
Last season they were the only team aside𓆉 from Red Bull to win an F1 grand prix although nobody came close to challenging Max Verstappen for the title.

Ferrari’s optimism is mitigated by the fact that Red Bull will also expect to meet the weight limit ♐for their own F1 2024 car.
