We do not think this will lead to a change, but we do want to eliminate the weaknesses in our car, especially with a view to 2021, ”said sports director Laurent Mekies.

sport">Ferrari figures in the premier class this season. The drivers Charles Leclerc and Sebastian Vettel have not yet come close to a Grand Prix victory. Characteristic of the waning team was the eighth and tenth place in the anniversary race earlier this month at Mugello’s home circuit.

But it is not in our nature to give up and that is how we approach the race in Sochi. We are coming up with updates, but they are part of a plan that spans the coming races and in which we want to lay the foundation for next season’s car. ”
