Maranello Signal Ferrari F1

A little extra technical meat on the Miami update story today. Motorsport.com has dug into how Ferrari specifically evolved the rear wing — the 'ala posteriore ribaltabile' — ahead of Miami, adding detail to what we already knew about the Monza filming day package. The piece doesn't give away the full geometry (Maranello wouldn't allow that), but it confirms the rear wing development is a genuine evolution rather than a tweak, optimised for the specific demands of the Miami circuit. Given the Macarena wing is already baked into roughly three-quarters of the package that ran at Monza, this is the kind of technical granularity that tells you the aero department has been busy.

Meanwhile, a nice external signal from the McLaren camp. Rob Marshall — their Chief Designer — was speaking at a press briefing and specifically called out Ferrari as having 'interesting solutions' in the 2026 regulatory cycle. When asked whether McLaren would simply copy what rivals are doing, Marshall was careful: 'the important thing is to understand what you want to achieve.' That's a measured answer, but the fact that he singled out Ferrari specifically as a team worth studying is worth noting. When the reigning constructors' champions' chief designer calls your solutions interesting, you're doing something right in the design room.
