"Ferrari's SF-24: Revamped Rear Wing and Risky Outlier in F1"

Ferrari is pursuing a new rear wing approach to close down Red Bull's DRS advantage, with technical director Enrico Cardile revealing that the team has focused on revamping the rear wing to chase DRS gains for its new SF-24 car. The new rear wing features a different layout for the central pillar and a more Swan neck-like design, aligning the car more towards the Red Bull direction while still maintaining its own approach. The launch specification of the car will be the same one raced in Bahrain, with updates to follow as the team better understands the characteristics of its new challenger.

F1 Miami Grand Prix: Alonso supports shorter DRS zones, Red Bull unveils fan-designed livery, drivers arrive, and Verizon deploys private network.

Fernando Alonso has backed the FIA's decision to shorten DRS zones for the upcoming F1 Miami GP, citing data from last year's races that showed both tracks were among the easiest for overtaking under DRS. Alonso also acknowledged that it has become harder to follow cars ahead this year due to the development of cars to the new aero rules. He suggested that behind the two Red Bulls, the field is so tightly-packed that overtaking isn't easy, and the tyres still get overheated quite heavily if you follow cars.

Aston Martin aims for permanent F1 DRS solution post-Baku.

Aston Martin is seeking a permanent solution to its DRS problem after a lubricant fix in Baku. The team cleaned the rear wing endplates with lubricant to ease the movement of the flap, which was oscillating and would only intermittently activate. The DRS problem was a distraction for the team, and the AMR23's real deficit came in the twisty middle sector of the lap. A full analysis of the failure would be undertaken, and a lasting fix installed for the Miami GP this weekend.

F1 Azerbaijan GP: Updates and Analysis.

The FIA has shortened the DRS zone for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku by 100 metres, reducing the distance the drag reduction system can be used on the main straight. The move is in line with F1's efforts to fine-tune the balance between improving the show and making overtaking too trivial. Baku is the fourth of five F1 circuits to have undergone tweaks to the DRS zones. The Baku City Circuit has also been resurfaced ahead of its sixth running of the race.
