Ferrari won't fix its problems anytime soon, says Binotto

Ferrari did not find the solution to the performance deficit displayed by its car on the first events of the 2019 season Formula 1. The SF90, in great shape during winter testing, never confirmed its potential during the races. 

This should still be the case during the next meeting, scheduled for Montreal (Canada) from June 7 to 9. “We know that we are not competitive enough, recognizes Mattia Binotto, the boss of the Scuderia. As of now, we don't have any changes coming to the car that might have an effect on the issues we're experiencing from Australia. »

This therefore means that the Mercedes should keep the advantage in Quebec in terms of pure performance. “The Canadian track presents a new challenge, with top speed, braking efficiency and acceleration grip as the main factors, continues Mattia Binotto. We will arrive there ready to give the best of ourselves. » 

Not sure that this state of mind is enough to erase the material disadvantages of the Scuderia. In our columns, Laurent Mekies, the sporting director of the Reds, detailed the problems the SF90 suffers from. “We are behind almost everywhere in absolute performance. We need to improve on certain types of corners and the way we use our aero with our mechanical grip and our tires. »
