Domenicali recognizes the weakness of the F60

Fourth in the Manufacturers' standings the day after the Brazilian Grand Prix, the Team Ferrari did not manage to maintain its third place, the Reds' stated objective during the season. Unfortunately, the sixth place obtained by Kimi Räikkönen at Interlagos was not enough.

Now ahead of McLaren from one unit to one race at the end of the season, Ferrari is expecting a difficult final Grand Prix in Abu Dhabi, especially since the development of the F60 has been stopped for a long time. While waiting for the start of the 2010 season which will see the arrival of Fernando Alonso, Stefano Domenicali admitted that the car leaving the Maranello factory at the start of the season was “ extremely difficult to fly. »

“The drivers simply don't have the confidence in how the car handles “, he said in Auto Bild. “ They therefore brake earlier and accelerate later when exiting a corner. »

It is therefore difficult in these conditions to compete with the other top teams. To avoid encountering the same difficulties next season, Maranello engineers have been working for many months on the construction of the new car which will welcome Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso.
