After the disappointment at the race GP of France, where they are racers Ferrari left without points as they won eleventh and sixteenth place, was the result of the bottom of the race GP of Styria (sixth and seventh place) a nice incentive for the Italian team.

According to the team boss Mattie Binotta but problems Ferrari not yet fully resolved. “Without a doubt, we have not yet fully addressed the problem in France,”Is binotto told the official Formula 1 website. "In France, we could do some things differently and improve our performance there. But I think the race car in general has some disadvantages that you didn’t see in the first race in Austria and when we head to Silverstone it could be even more difficult there because it’s about fast turns and a lot of energy in the tires."
