Mattia Binotto, the technical director, was expecting it. Maurizio Arrivabene, the leader of the band was waiting for him. Seb Vettel expected it. Kimi Raikkonen was waiting for him.
On the race pace, the car for now is not at the level of the Mercedes.
If he plays it with Red Bull instead.
After that, we arrive at the government of non-distrust.
First, they were tests. Test in particular conditions for a little weather cause.
Secondly, switchando from the short wheelbase to the long wheelbase Ferrari has bet a lot on developments in progress. See, in this regard, the Mercedes evolution of twelve months ago.
Third, it would be absurd to consider the game closed. Surely the sensations were not those of 2017 and this must be said and indeed it has been said by observers who have no prejudices.
Fourth, the tire business is not clear, perhaps for anyone.
Fifth, Melbourne will be the inaugural chapter, on a particular track.
Here, what is told above is the feeling in Maranello.
You may like it or not, but as I have already written the facts are stubborn.
Finally, my opinion.
Non-distrust is indispensable.
It means that it is hard, maybe not impossible, but it is hard.
I reject the anticipated processes (and to whom, then?) And I grant more than a credit opening to those who in 2017 won 5 GP and fought for the title almost to the end.
Good luck to my friends in the racing department.
They need it."
If true... RIP 2018 season :\
R.I.P SF71H indeed if this guy is honest, hopefully they can fix it up and add some pieces that RB and Merc have to catch up again within the season and don't fall even worse than they usually do during in season developments. They took two steps back apparently from last year but Im sure they will rectify this as soon as possible, might as well work on the 2019 car or use this year to try different approaches to things that could benefit next year
hockenheim 2018 / China 2018 : Never forget how quick Ferrari can lose it all, be humble.
Positivity doesn't win you championships, whining about people being negative makes you blind!
lol ignore the bitter old cows ;-)
