Ferrari brings small floor and sidepod changes for US Grand Prix
Ferrari introduced a modest update package for the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix, centred on a revised floor front edge and minor sidepod changes. Reports said the gains were limited, with both drivers downplaying the significance of the new parts.
Ferrari arrived at the United States Grand Prix with a small set of technical updates for the SF-26. Motorsport.com described the package as worth less than a tenth, while Autosport said both Ferrari drivers played down the importance of the new components.
According to Autosport, the most distinctive change was at the front edge of the floor, where Ferrari adopted a different approach to the 'fingers' in that area. The car also received a minor sidepod rework, including a small adjustment to the inlet and the undercut.
Autosport added that these bodywork tweaks were tied to a minor change to the floor board. Taken together, the reports presented the US GP package as a limited refinement rather than a major step.
