TECH WEEKLY: How Ferrari's Monza upgrades helped the team to address a key problem
Ferrari’s Monza victory coincided with a significant update – just as McLaren’s decisive win at Zandvoort did before it. But, as with McLaren a week earlier, the circuit characteristics were a good match with the traits of the winning car regardless of updates, so we should be cautious about aligning correlation with causation in both cases.
