Rosberg: Ferrari made a mistake with the SF90

Nico Rosberg seems to have clearly made his bet to choose the team that will be champion at the end of the season. After three Grands Prix where the star team achieved a double, the German seems convinced that the coronation will again go to the Silver Arrows. He argues his remarks by the lack of performance of the Team Ferrari which, according to him, missed the development of the SF90 led by Sebastian Vettel et Charles Leclerc.

« Mercedes is a big favorite at the moment. They seem so fast, he said in a video. Ferrari is in trouble, they have gone in the wrong direction with their car development. They have too little drag and lack of downforce in the corners, which is where they lose a lot of time. This is not ideal for getting the best ride possible. »

Nico Rosberg went into more detail about the Italian team's technical errors.

“They tried to add downforce to the rear wing (at the Chinese GP), but it’s not effective, specified Nico Rosberg. They must find support from other parts of the car, such as on the front wing or winglets. This is where they need to focus their attention, but it requires a lot of work and it will take time. »
