Arrivabene: “Give our drivers a car capable of winning”

The management of Scuderia Ferrari continually reminds us: the renewal started several years ago must ultimately bear fruit. But it is also true that we expected the stable of Maranello more to his advantage this season, where neither Sebastian Vettel, nor Kimi Räikkönen were able to win.

A complicated situation on the track, but also behind the scenes with the reshuffle in the technical team during the season following the departure of James Allison. But Maurizio Arrivabene wanted to put an end to the rumors of demotivation, which particularly emerged regarding Sebastian Vettel.

“Sebastian was here again recently, working in the simulator and he reiterated the fact that he wants to win with Ferrari. It's up to us to give our drivers a car that can do it. » the Team Principal proclaimed.

With this in mind, could the technical regulations modified next year serve as a springboard for a return to the forefront of Ferrari? “There are so many changes to the rules relating to aerodynamics, underlines Mattia Binotto, head of the technical department.

We will see cars that are much faster in corners and more efficient in accelerating and braking. There is nothing here in Maranello that prevents us from being able to build such a car... It's just a question of time. »

Binotto also highlights an aspect that could prove essential next year, the teams' ability to react. “That’s what we were missing on some occasions this year, recalls the Italian. We must be able to introduce new solutions before others do. »
