Scuderia Ferrari confident for 2010

With a fourth in the Constructors' standings, Felipe Massa's accident in Hungary, Ferrari's 2009 season was very difficult. To avoid experiencing such disillusionment again in 2010, the team Maranello therefore decided very early on to freeze the development of its F60 to concentrate on the development of the car from 2010. “ The decision to give up on 2009 mid-season was not easy to make, but it was essential, and will pay off next year. », Declares the team director in AUTOhebdo. “ We did what Ross Brawn did in 2008 to bounce back better in 2009! »

A few weeks before the first tests, Stefano Domenicali, the team director, has several reasons to be optimistic for 2010. Asked about the reasons for this confidence, he mentions different signals which he considers important. “ Having launched this program very early, not seeing in the technical regulations the black holes which penalized us this year. Now everything is legal and clear. We know what to expect! He continues.

Domenicali goes even further by predicting a 2010 season which will see the return to the forefront of the “Constructors” teams. “ McLaren, Ferrari, Renault will come back to the top “, he says. " But those who took advantage of 2009 to progress, like Red Bull and Brawn GP, ​​will not slow down however. It will be a great fight, overall a great season. »
