Ferrari have made significant gains over the winter relative to McLaren, according to F1 expert Martin Brundle.

Ferrari narrowly missed out on the 2024 F1 constructors’ title, finishing just 13 points behind McLarꦉen.

The Scud🍎eria were l♓eft to rue a mid-season upgrade, which curtailed their season.

This led to a poor run of form between Barcelona and Hungary, putting Ferrari behind Red Bull,𒊎 McLaren and Mercedes consistently.

To their credit, they resolved their issues with a Monza upgrade, transformi🌸ng their season as they moved into title contention.

Ferrari are confident if they continue on that trajectory, particularl🅠y improving in the high-speed corners,🧸 they can overtake McLaren in the pecking order.

Speaking on Sky Sports News, Bru🅷ndle revealed that Ferrari have made crucial gains duriᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚng the off-season.

“Ferrari are very confident. At the mo🐲ment, the feeling is Ferrari might have improved their car a little bit more than McLaren or others,” Brundle said.

“We know McLaren are confident in their data as well of what their new car lo🌳oks like. Itꦍ should be one of the greatest seasons in F1 history. It should be so close. Whoever wins it, will win a great championship.

“Until we see the cars on track and probably not until the Saturday of Melbourne, the first race, when they’re low fuel, flat-out, maximum power, giving it 🧔everything, fresh tyres, will we truly know the pace of who’s just aced it. As you know, it’s who’s still fast 30 laps, 50, 60 laps into a grand prix.

“Let’s wait and see. It’s very brave to wri🌃te anyone off or write anyone into a championship-winning position.”

Will Hamilton give Ferrari the edge?

The signing of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton will likely give Fer♓rari a boost heading into the new season.

It’s been a historic week for the team as Ham🍌ilton visited Maranello for the first time before hitting th☂e track in the 2023 car.

Ferrari will be hoping Hamilton’s arrival will see an end to their long title drought, whic꧙h dates back to 2008﷽.

Hamilton hasn’t regularly featured at the front of the field in F1 since his title defeat to 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen in 2021 amid Mercedes’ struggles in the൩ ground effect🤪 era.
