Is FERRARI's situation real or just PART OF THE GAME?

Let's remember when he is Mattia binotto stated that Ferrari not good and fast enough to win the inaugural race in Australia. Mercedes in Red Bull they are faster, both Italian. This is definitely true, hours of course, this is more strongly supported, but we know too little about the factors that affect the times we monitored in the first three days of testing in Barcelona.

We know it is Ferrari last season stabbed with lack of vacuum, the bends, at all the slower ones, were for them a painful wound that is higher speed ointment on the plains could not heal. And it was also a major construction site Ferrari for this year. SF1000 needs to generate more vacuum as the predecessor of the year 2019. This is also the case, but how much did this additional vacuum cost the final velocities on the planes? We'll have to wait until Melbourne for that.

Australia it will also at least hint at what it might be like power ratio this season, though we’ll get a more realistic picture after three or four races. But we have to ask ourselves if we may not already have it Barcelona with her first three days she showed where the path will lead this year? Everything shows that direction Mercedesa, because the silver arrows showed a good rhythm on these three days longer distances and this on all rubber compounds, and what stands out here Lewis Hamilton, which was yesterday on race simulation almost half a second faster than Max Verstappen. Ferrari he did not have much to show in this respect. Not only did they lag behind in time Mercedes in Red Bullom, another appeared to them disease last season and that’s it excessive tire wear.

To make their first days of testing in Barcelona marked for disaster, nightmare and considered that in Maranello turned on all the alarms, it would be a bit of a hair pull, though at Italians we know they don’t need much for something like this. A certain facts they will still be in the eye. Regardless, they changed testing approach, something is certain and the data does not lie. Mercedes is fast again extremely fast, and are also faster than the reds at Red Bullu. But let's wait until Australia, for we find it hard to believe that it will Ferrari in this year performed lightly quantum leap - back.

So what do we know? We know it is Ferrari compared to last year euphoric flight pre-season testing, when some have already put both championship cups in the showcase, this year decided to a different philosophy. Looking at the timeline didn’t interest them, they focused just to yourself and to getting to know the car. Regardless, the statement Binotta we can understand it in several ways. In it we trace the training of use endurance passwordswhen he claims the season is long and they have plenty of time to catch up. It can give fans and responsible leading floors timely preparation for lower expectations and calm the euphoria. Well the latter would be hard to believe, because the leading floor wants the title, wants trophy in the display case of the exchange and for this purpose they are also additional opened the pouch.

If we look at where both racers landed in three days Barcelona, you might think it’s the only one Haas worse than Ferrari. Well yeah, this one would already be fairly hair-raising. But maybe it’s all part of a game for which the lessons were drawn from last year Barcelona. But maybe Ferrari even bluffs?
