Ferrari debuted a significant upgrade package during a filming day at its Fiorano test circuit on Friday to introduce it in Formula 1's Emilia Romagna GP next week.
Centred around a change in philosophy for the sidepod and engine cover bodywork, the rest of the SF-24 will also undergo a transformation, as the team looks for ways to apply pressure on Red Bull and stem the flow of the threat now posed by a resurgent McLaren package. Ferrari, having moved to the underbite sidepod inlet at the start of the season, is now sporting an overbite arrangement, similar to the layout we've seen Red Bull pursue in 2024.
