Ferrari is feared again according to Sergio Marchionne

With two victories in four Grands Prix contested in 2017, and a leading position for Sebastian Vettel, Ferrari did not miss its start to the season, with an SF70H displaying significantly increased performance compared to its predecessors, which had rarely been able to rise to the level of Mercedes in previous seasons.

The Scuderia is only one point behind its great German rival in the Constructors' championship, but the Italian team, as Ferrari president Sergio Marchionne admits, is now instilling doubt in the star's clan.

“Scuderia Ferrari has worked hard to prepare for the 2017 season, and the initial results are encouraging, declares the Italian, quoted by the transalpine media.

We are competitive again. And our German adversaries fear us. We have started well, but we will continue to work. We respect our opponents and do not underestimate them, especially the Mercedes. »

Ferrari had monopolized the front row in Russia after qualifying, a first since 2008, before Valtteri Bottas (Mercedes) took a decisive advantage at the start against the SF70H of Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Räikkönen.
