“Sometimes they are a bit bigger, sometimes a bit smaller, but it is important to keep the development alive. We have three main points we are working on. One is aero, the most important one,” Krack added.
“Second is car weight, very important as well. And the third is how we can provide better feedback from the car to our drivers that goes into the suspension, into the steering, these kinds of things, the set-up of the car,” Krack concluded.
