The
Formula 1 teams have only just finished the
French Grand Prix, but already have to prepare for the next race. Where
Red Bull Racing would have preferred to party a few days longer, the busy schedule is pleasant for
Ferrari.
The Italian formation was still in third place in the world championship before the race in France, but
Charles Leclerc and
Carlos Sainz failed to secure points on Sunday afternoon. It meant
McLaren took a lead over its closest rival and
Ferrari were pretty bummed about themselves after the weekend.
Team boss
Mattia Binotto has analysed the situation in detail with the team.
"The race was very tough and difficult for us," he told
Motorsport.com.
"We were not able to make the tyres work as we should have done. And I think our performance was closely related to the tyres and the way we made them work."Styria GP
Next weekend Ferrari expect to do better. "On paper, the circuit should be more favourable for the characteristics of our car, but we need to understand what happened in France and what the weather conditions will be. We are counting on the two races in Austria. If we then look at the calendar before the summer break, England could be difficult, while Hungary should be positive for us again."
