The Scuderia Ferrari works hard in the Maranello factory to arrive in the best possible way at the start of the 2020 Formula 1 season, which is expected for the first weekend of July on the occasion of the Austrian GP. Among its advancements is a power unit with an additional 20 horsepower.

There have been more than a few cancellations and event suspensions due to the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic, but it seems that Formula 1 is beginning to glimpse the light at the end of the tunnel: the motorsport queen category wants to return to action in July with a double event in Austria, as Chase Carey himself revealed.

Meanwhile, Formula 1 teams have had a mandatory 63-day factory shutdown period imposed by the FIA . However, Ferrari was one of the first teams that decided to close its doors due to the coronavirus, and both its engine department and the other sections are already in place.

The appointment of Austria will be crucial for the future of the season, as some parts of the cars will be frozen to save costs , hence why Ferrari wants to arrive in good shape. For this, in Maranello they work almost in every section of the car, but especially in the nose, the flat bottom, the gearbox and, above all, the power unit.

According to the Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, the evolutions of the power unit focus on a new cylinder head and modifications to the combustion chamber, which will optimize the combustion of the mixture of air and gasoline. In addition, this would come with an update of the software that manages the electrical part - an operation that they were looking for since the beginning of the year, finally achieved. In total, the gain would be 20 horsepower.

Ferrari is aware of the importance of power on a track like the Red Bull Ring, so they intend to start the season directly with this 'version B' of their engine, which they have worked on for the last few months with little rest - according to the media Quoted, the engine has been tested on the test bench in three daily shifts.

As for the aerodynamic section, there is talk of a remodeling of the flat bottom that leads to other mandatory modifications. In the preseason tests they discovered a 'micro flexing' in the gearbox that influenced the fixing points of the rear suspension and varied the behavior of the car, something that Charles Leclerc especially complained about. The solution, a priori, is to strengthen the outer cover.

I haven't seen any evidence to support that.

 

I might add that both drivers have shown that in a car that suits them they are untouchable and if they are in a car they're not comfortable with they're invariably nowhere to be found and spend most of the time complaining. They have a lot in common. Both sore losers and bad Sports.

 

Hopefully one day we find out.
