Domenicali: Ferrari focusing on all areas for dynamic improvements – Formula 1 news
Ferrari team principal, Stefano Domenicali says that they are targeting to make the necessary improvements in each and every area with a special focus on enhancing the aerodynamics of F2012.
Even though, the Scarlet team was quite uncertain about its competitiveness in the first few races of 2012 Formula 1 season after the end of its struggling pre-season testing programme. However, they have managed to deliver quite reasonable performances
in season so far and are standing at fifth place in the constructors’ championship with 45 points.
Nevertheless, Domenicali said that they still have got a lot of work to do so as to make the essential enhancements in the pace of their car. He added that they are making the best of the efforts to maximize their potential.
In addition, he said that they are aiming at substantial developments in all the area which need consideration with an utmost attention to the car’s aerodynamics to increase its downforce.
“We are intensifying the process of changing our working procedures in all areas and, at the same time, we are strengthening our efforts in areas where we are weakest, such as aerodynamics,” said Domenicali.
Additionally, he said that there have been some drastic changes in the sport over the period of last few years and there is strong need to keep on striving for the significant advancements.
Besides, he said that Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, the president of the Scarlet team is himself looking into the procedures regarding the development of aerodynamics which is quite crucial project for their future.
“It's a long term project and one that President Montezemolo is studying at first hand and it is vital to the future of the Scuderia. Formula 1 has changed so much these past few years and we have not always been up to speed with these changes. In this area
too we need to step up a gear,” he said.
Ferrari are looking forward for the in-season test which is to be held at Mugello to evaluate the performance of their upgrades so as to increase the pace of their car to strengthen their position in this year’s battle for the championship title.
