However, despite the problems, Ferrari would not describe the Silver Arrows. “I’m sure they’ll be a challenge,” said Mattia Binotto, team leader at Scuderia. “I don’t think Red Bull has shown what it can really do, nor can Mercedes.”
“It’s good to protect the engine on Friday. It is a question of reliability, the year is long and the engine has to be divided over several races. We printed for him, but not to the maximum, ”the Italian expert added. “We have to wait until the timer when everyone can push the boundaries. What they have seen is not yet the end result, but the signs are good. ”
“Tests have shown that we can be fast, but we have also seen that Red Bull is also fast, maybe even faster than us. It also turned out that the Mercedes is very close and I saw the first workouts confirmed this situation, ”Binotto said.
