Formula One teams also have put in the hours away from the track, to achieve the results they want on a Grand Prix weekend. Hence, Ferrari have developed a new simulator to help them in their fight this season.

A simulator helps the team and drivers understand the track much better and get data to work on, so they can be prepared for the actual race.

The Scuderia’s drivers, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz will use this facility to get a head start in knowing the track before they physically zip around the track.

The Scuderia wrote, “The new Scuderia Ferrari Mission Winnow simulator is in its new home. The fitting out of the facility and the setting up of the simulator was completed this week in a new building that sits between the main office of the Gestione Sportiva and the Fiorano Track.

“In the coming weeks, the calibration work will be carried out and then, at some point in September, after the summer break required by the sporting regulations, the real work will begin, supporting the design phase of the 2022 car.”

“At the same time, the current simulator will still be used for development work on the SF21 and in preparing for the race weekends, as well as supporting the youngsters from the Ferrari Driver Academy.”

“The new simulator is absolutely at the cutting edge in this field and reproduces in a 360° environment, the lowest latency and the widest bandwidth of anything currently on the market.”

“It is based on a completely new concept the result of a collaboration between Scuderia Ferrari and Dynisma, a UK-based company headed up by former Ferrari engineer Ashley Warne. It has been produced exclusively for the Maranello team”

Head of Supply Chain, Gianmaria Fulgenzi stated, “Simulation and digital technology are going to play an ever more important role in the development of a Formula 1 car and we believe we have made the best possible choice, focusing on creating a tool that will enable us to make a generational leap in this sector.”
