We have now also reached the conclusion of the third and last day of testing. In home Ferrari they were very useful days, in which different set ups were tried, as he admitted team principal Frederic Vasseur. In fact, the Frenchman wanted to give a report to the microphones of Sky in view of next week's GP.
Frederic, how do you analyze these three days?
“We always want to do more, try new things and new arrangements. Of course, three days are very short and we would like to improve, but we have done many kilometers anyway which is a very important fact in terms of reliability".
What are you missing to be at level of Red Bull?
“I don't know… we are very focused on ourselves and it is very difficult, as said before, you know their conditions. The most important thing is to know what we are doing, understanding the machine more and more. We needed a constant approach also on the various fuel loads and we had it”.
Vasseur preaches calm
When will we know where you stand?
“Next week and we won't know until Q1. The tests in Bahrain are very strange: you run all day with the track at 45º, while the race and qualifying will be at 25º. We're talking about two completely different tracks."
Coming to next week, will race pace still be a question mark?
“Yes, but it will be for everyone. We should test the car in extreme conditions considering the cold as we race at night. It will be a good challenge but we covered all the areas that interested us well".
What do you expect after the changes you've made in the team?
“In the end, performance depends on the team and not just on the riders. Even the strategies do not depend on a single person and for this we are trying to improve. We are on the right track."
