Another difficult day for Ferrari

Stefano Domenicali, the boss of the Team Ferrari sets the scene. “Our car is exactly the same as in Shanghai, so we couldn't expect anything different. Our goal is to bring back a few points, we have to be realistic, currently we cannot hope for much more. We must get through this difficult period by keeping a cool head, working on all fronts to try to quickly become competitive again! »

The team worked hard today to prepare for the race, while embarking on important work analyzing the SREC. Felipe Massa played with SREC, Kimi Räikkönen without. The results are not more glorious for one than for the other. “It's really not a good day,” comments Felipe Massa. “We worked with the race in mind, but we need to improve the behavior of the car to reverse the trend tomorrow and in the race. Hard tires are difficult to use, this is better with softer tires, both in terms of performance and in terms of endurance. SREC is a plus. Without it, I think it would have been even slower. »

Kimi Räikkönen is not showing any more ambition: “We know that this race will be no different from the previous ones. We have gathered important information today. We have to analyze everything before making a decision for the race. »

Scuderia Ferrari is therefore not expecting a miracle in Bahrain, but the response is announced from Barcelona.
