Why Ferrari bucked the trend with its F1 2024 suspension choice

Ferrari caused a surprise by sticking with a pull-rod rear suspension on its 2024 Formula 1 car, rather than adopting the push-rod idea of Red Bull.

With rivals like Mercedes and Aston Martin switching over, it had been anticipated that the entire grid would follow suit – but Ferrari joined Haas and Williams in doing its own thing.

Haas is no surprise though, because it takes what is supplied by the Scuderia, while Williams chose to take last year’s arrangement from Mercedes as it saw an opportunity to work with a known and stable quantity while saving money.

But, while Ferrari did not make the pull-rod switch that many anticipated, that is not to say it did not make some interesting changes to its suspension to better suit the layout of its SF-24.
