Ferrari adjusted their approach in preparation for Suzuka.

      Ferrari has adjusted its approach in preparation for the weekend in Suzuka by changing the aerodynamic package for better optimization of energy distribution. The strategy is to maximize the capabilities of the SF-26 without directly competing with the strengths of the Mercedes cars. The team is working on optimizing energy accumulation in slow sections, using lower gears to maintain high engine revs. Aerodynamic testing of the rotating rear wing Macarena continues, aimed at finding a balance that allows for increased speed without sacrificing stability. The team is exploring different setup options that are most suitable for Suzuka. The refinement of the SF-26 aims to reduce the car's weight by 6-7 kg. Ferrari is considering changing the design of the winglets on the Halo, which were removed due to visibility issues. A new version may be presented to address these problems, ensuring compliance with FIA regulations and avoiding protests from competitors. Despite Mercedes' dominant position, Ferrari remains determined to challenge its rivals. The Japanese Grand Prix will be an important step in their development.
