Disappointing. This is how the Ferrari weekend in Barcelona can be summed up. At the Spanish GP.In a test in which, again, they had the same problem that they have had for a year. Good rhythm on Saturday. good pace for one lap… but a long run disaster.Carlos Sainz, fifth after starting second;Charles Leclerc, directly, outside the points area.
And it was a race that they had marked, because it was the place where the first great package of improvements arrived that should, at least, put them in a better position than they are. It hasn’t been like that.
are after Mercedesand to know what would have happened with Aston Martinof not having had Fernando Alonso that problem in classification. The improvement, supposedly great improvement, is not as much as it could have been at the beginning.
In the ‘Scuderia’, in fact, they have already quantified it. It has been Jock Clear, engineer, who has revealed how much the SF-23 has improved in Spain compared to what was seen in other tests such as Miami.
“No, it wasn’t even seven tenths or half a second. Maybeas much, two or three tenths”, he affirms in words that are collected in ‘Motorsport’.
Now, it remains to be seen how everything translates into other tracks: “This was in Barcelona, a track that exposes the weaknesses of a car”.
“Here You can’t come and hide. We’ve made the update work in one of the most demanding places,” Clear says.
At the moment, it does not reach them. It does not come to them to fight with Red Bull and to know what happens in other tracks seeing how Mercedes is and that Aston Martin also has something to say.
The next stop,in Canada, It will be key when analyzing the improvement of the Ferrari.
