Three days of testing (February 23, 24 and 25) of Formula 1 preseason before the ‘fuss’ starts in Bahrain next March 5. Three fundamental days for the teams, which will begin to see what the performance of their cars can be.
Ferrari knows that they are key dates. his boss, Fred Vasseur, has warned ‘Auto Motor und Sport’ in statements that they must start off on the right foot in these tests. And he has given an example to McLaren… example of what not to do.
“If a major problem arises, like it happened to McLaren last yearyou don’t have time to react for the first race,” said the new head of the Italian team.
“Pre-season testing is the time when we all enter new territory, although this time the concepts of their cars and their problems are better known,” he says.
Regarding Ferrari’s expectations, he is clear that it is a team that always aspires to everything in F1: “I already have a pretty clear idea of what makes this team work. dna It’s the same in all of them, it has nothing to do with the size of each team.”
“What is different compared to Sauber are the expectations. In Bahrain, I will experience how the team works on the track. I’ll probably never finish learning,” says the new head of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.
