Ferrari aims for a podium

Returning to the forefront during the Monaco Grand Prix, with third and fourth places for its drivers, Ferrari expects a lot from the Istanbul Grand Prix. There Team comes to Turkey undefeated for three years with Felipe Massa. Moreover, Chris Dyer, the chief track engineer, is aware of this advantage but is not getting carried away. “ The layout of the circuit has always suited our car well but this year it will certainly be a little more difficult. Turkey is a circuit where aerodynamic performance plays an important role and we will probably be a little behind our competitors “, he concedes.

Far from admitting defeat, he admits that the developments that have appeared since Barcelona allow us to look to the future with confidence. “ Thanks to the changes we have introduced to the car since Barcelona, ​​we are now in a position to fight for the podium and for victory. »

For the Grand Prix, the Reds will also be able to count on new aerodynamic improvements with an evolution of the double diffuser. If these will not be as important as in Barcelona, ​​it nevertheless represents a step forward. Kimi Räikkönen, for his part, expects a nice race. “ I'm excited about racing in Türkiye. Compared to Monaco, there is more possibility of overtaking », concluded the Finn.
