Ferrari brings upgraded floor to Bahrain Grand Prix after disqualification hints at setup issues
Ferrari brought the most updates to the Bahrain Grand Prix, with a redesigned floor hoped to improve stability issues.
SAKHIR–Scuderia Ferrari has brought the biggest upgrade of any team to the Bahrain Grand Prix, hoped to push out any setup issues responsible for the disqualification of Lewis Hamilton in China and a lack of pace in Japan.
While teammate Charles Leclerc was also disqualified after car was found to be underweight due to an oversight by the team, the team has reportedly blamed his issue on a leaking water system.
It was Hamilton, however, disqualified due to excessive damage to his rear skid block, with an unusual issue that hinted at issues in the way the car is positioned horizontally. Whatever the issue with their setup, the resulting effect dragged the floor towards the surface of the circuit and created greater than expected wear on the mandatory skid block at the rear.
