Ferrari could bet everything on the 2014 car

This is the question that obsesses many team leaders at the moment. Should we fight to the end and push the development of this year's car to its maximum? Or focus now on car next year, which will have to meet revolutionary technical regulations introducing, in particular, the new 6 l hybrid V1,6 turbo engine? Currently third in the Manufacturers ranking, Team Ferrari is deep in thought on this subject. “We are already thinking about next season”, confessed Felipe Massa at the Brazilian site Totalrace. “It's very important because so much is changing that we have a whole group that has been working on just the next car for a long time,” said the Brazilian, whose own future with the Reds seems threatened.

Thus, the next Grands Prix will prove crucial. "We need to analyze our performance in the following races to determine if we should continue working on the current car, instead of focusing completely on 2014." The situation of Fernando Alonso, who is still in contention in the fight for the Drivers’ title despite a significant delay in Sebastian Vettel, will obviously be a key factor in the Scuderia's decision.
