This also surprised when I was that age F1 was boring AF for me
In recent years, Formula 1 has seen a huge surge in growth with younger fans and data shows that more than four million children aged 8-12 now actively follow the sport across the EU and US – while 54% of followers on TikTok and 40% on Instagram are now under 25 years old.
 
Ferrari is conducting wind tunnel tests on a new suspension system. They are losing half a second per lap in qualifying: https://www.corriere.it/sport/formu...lo-2cc4253c-5444-4af3-ac5c-11ca6bd4dxlk.shtml

"... . Among the most important and anticipated is the modified rear suspension. It has passed the dynamic bench test and is being tested in the wind tunnel with different aerodynamics, it will change especially in the attack area. The goal is to unlock the "potential", a topic that generates disagreements between team principal Fred Vasseur and the drivers. ...

In Maranello, technical director Loic Serra is juggling two tasks: managing the 2026 group and fixing the mechanical problems of the SF-25. It is not an easy job nor a quick solution. Hamilton, in describing Sunday's comeback, said that the "car came to life". What does that mean? That it starts to go fast when the fuel in the tank drops below 70%. The fundamental enigma of the car is mechanical: when the aerodynamic load (the force that presses the car to the ground) moves back, exiting the corners, the setup adjustments are not sufficient to cover its limits. The compression damages the floor if the height is too extreme in qualifying, and so compromise solutions must be accepted that on Saturday cause the loss of 15-20 points of load.

The correction is mandatory, the revised suspension is expected by the British GP at Silverstone (July 6). But first the most decisive Saturday of the season must be faced, in Monte Carlo where something winning will be seen again: the rear wing of the SF-24 with which Leclerc took pole twelve months ago and then triumphed in the race will be used. ..."
