Ferrari stop all development on their 2021 car
Date published: June 19 2021
All eyes have turned to 2022 at Ferrari, with the Scuderia confirming they are no longer developing their 2021 challenger – the SF21.
The SF21 has represented progress at the Prancing Horse as they have emerged from the boggy bottom of the midfield battle in 2020 and propelled themselves into a fight for P3 in the Constructors’ standing with McLaren.
But, if they are to see off their age-old rivals for the top spot behind Red Bull and Mercedes in 2021, they will be doing it with pretty much the same car now throughout the rest of the campaign.
With a regulation reset on the way in 2022, Ferrari want to have as much time and resources possible working on their new car for next season.
“From a car development point of view, we have already made our decisions,” Mekies said via Formula1.com.
“It is all on 2022, and there will be no real upgrade coming to improve these weaknesses [on the SF21].
“However you can always work on the issues by simply understanding them better, and if you understand them better, either because you correlate them better or you simply understand what are the reasons for which we are performing a bit less in those conditions, it can open the door to solutions that you can already apply.”
