The Italian manufacturer has confirmed that it has not taken any of the so-called evo jokers allowed to manufacturers competing in the Hypercar class ahead of this weekend’s WEC curtain-raiser in Qatar.
Ferrari sportscar technical director Ferdinando Cannizzo said: “At the moment we have not used any jokers; we want to exploit the potential of the base car.
“Before we apply for any jokers we want to understand the ultimate performance of our car.
“The more we run the more we understand about the car, the aero, the tyres.
“Definitely the electronics and controls in the car play a fundamental role, but it is not the only area we are working on.”
Ferrari had previously been non-committal about its development plans for 2024.
At the end of last year, its sportscar racing boss Antonello Coletta said on multiple occasions that there was no decision on the use of jokers, but stated that it would invoke no more than one.
