Ferrari says the “main focus” with developing its Formula 1 car in early 2023 is to dial out the “peakiness” to give drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz greater confidence.The SF-23 debuted an upgraded floor design with revised geometry in front of the rear wheels for the Miami Grand Prix, which was conceived to make the car more “benign”.
“We need to get rid of some of that peakiness. That's probably the main focus at the moment, to make the car a bit more benign so the drivers have a bit more confidence.”Motorsport Images Clear outlined that in this ground-effects era of F1, revising the way the floor interacts with the rear wing and tyres was a critical area. This has only been enhanced by the mandated 15mm rise in the floor edge for 2023, a measure introduced by the FIA to limit porpoising.
“You generate so much downforce on the floor and the rear wing, but they're interconnected. So, that's the area of most people's development.
