Ferrari chases victories, time and fines.
Therefore, the color of the car changes to Spain GP in Formula 1.
Red Bull and Max Verstappen have won the last two races and before the Spanish Grand Prix in Formula 1, Ferrari is investing in regaining its lead. Then the team comes up with a major update.
It is not surprising that we have a big deal with us in Spain and that will be important for us. Every time we have a new product with us, I hope the new package works so we can bite off some of the distance that Red Bull has gained, says stable manager Mattia Binotto.
But this update is not only about news about the flooring and side parts, but also about the car getting a different color. The car will also be red in the future, but the shade will be different. All to save weight. The Ferrari is said to weigh about ten kilograms more than the minimum permissible weight of 798 kilograms, but according to Italian Motorsport.com, the team will save 700 grams by changing the color.
Barcelona is a path that requires a lot of pressure and we have a winger just for that. We’ll see who’s faster. I expect Red Bull to have updates too,” Mattia Binotto told total-motorsport.com.
The package that we have worked with since the beginning of the season will be with us, and we will see if it succeeds. Engineers always have certain hopes and other concerns before a car is tested on the track.
Today, Ferrari was in Monza, between 09.00 and 13.00 Charles Leclerc drove the so-called Film Day. The F1-75 had Pirelli test tires and had to drive 100km.
Monster update to Spain GP in Formula 1
Aston Martin is also expected to deliver a major update to the Formula 1 Grand Prix of Spain. The team has delivered well below expectations this season and needs a boost and that’s right away.
Half a brand new Aston Martin, everyone will see without having to use a magnifying glass, says Michael Schmidt Auto, Motorsport and Sport, in his “Formula Schmidt” YouTube broadcast.
– I think the rear end of the car will be narrower, and they will keep the side horns. Perhaps it is a copy of Ferrari.
According to Schmidt, the team, like many others in the industry, had problems with deliveries, so only one car will receive the new update.
– I think this car goes to the owner’s son, says Schmidt.
In this case, that means Lance Stroll has a new car for the Spain GP in Formula 1 while Sebastian Vettel has to wait.

Vettel has also visited the UK and spoke about climate issues and Formula 1 on the BBC. He criticized Brexit and Boris Johnson and asked if he was hypocritical in his environmental commitment.
There are many things I can do better. Do I travel every time? No, I drive when I can. He says some things I control, some I don’t.
Racing is my biggest passion, but when I leave the car I think. Are we really going to do this? Traveling across the Earth and wasting the Earth’s resources?
Sebastian Vettel loves to travel by train and drive an electric car in particular. In the fall, he was harshly criticized by the German Minister of Transport for his environmental commitment.
Ice Cream Snack of the Week – Valtteri Bottas
One of the most popular posts of the week on Instagram comes from Alfa Romeo’s Valtteri Bottas.
He left Miami and the big city for a quiet moment in Colorado. The photo has received nearly 400,000 likes and more than 8,000 comments.
Happy Birthday Formula 1. Today marks 72 years since the first F1 race was scheduled at Silverstone in the UK. Nino Farina won the 70-lap competition on a track measuring 4,649 km.
It’s also been ten years since Pastor Maldonado shocked everyone in Barcelona. He won the Vuelta a EspaƱa at Williams, but we also remember the day the car driven by teammate Bruno Senna started burning in the garage – two and a half hours into the race. 31 people needed to go to hospital.
