Should the new Ferrari floor consistently match the numbers seen, they are right in the Constructors’ title fight with Red Bull and McLaren.
That is the opinion of Ferrari racer Carlos Sainz after the team claimed victory on home soil at Monza to delight the Tifosi, team-mate Charles Leclerc pulling off a one-stop masterclass to stun McLaren.
Ferrari SF-24 floor potentially ‘decisive’ in Constructors’ title race
Ferrari introduced a new upgrade package at Monza, which included a new floor as the Scuderia looked to address the porpoising issue associated with their unsuccessful Spanish GP updates.
The first test at Monza was very encouraging indeed, Ferrari in a “genuine race” with McLaren, but Sainz wants more “samples” before he can form a true opinion on the success of the new floor.
“We were in a genuine race with the McLarens, which was great to see,” he told media including PlanetF1.com at Monza.
“At the same time, it’s Monza and a very particular Monza. We will need to wait to see more normal tracks to see if this upgrade has really turned our season around, and if we’re going to fight for wins from now on, or we are going to go back to what we saw in Zandvoort.
“We need more samples on this new floor, and we need to go to more normal tracks.
