Ferrari has drawn up an extensive test programme for practice at Silverstone, the results of which the team expects will allow engineers to understand which car settings to choose to unlock the potential of new products. However, the weather could throw all cards up for the Scuderia – Charles Leclerc has said that if it rains, testing will be postponed until the next stage in Hungary.
“We didn’t add any new features to the car this weekend,” Racingnews365 quotes Leclerc as saying. “However, the weekend will be very useful if it doesn’t rain.” But at the moment, it seems that rain is very likely.
On Friday we want to do comparative tests on two machines to confirm some assumptions, but if it rains on Friday we will have to postpone these tests until the next stage.
We’re still trying to figure out how to configure the car to take full advantage of the latest updates.
As I have said many times, we have gotten the numbers that we thought we would get from these new products, so they are performing as they should. Now we are talking about optimizing the car and the numbers that we see. At the moment we have not been able to optimize everything, but the team is working on it.”
