In addition, he said that they have very efficient engineers in their squad who are trying their best at their factory in Maranello to make the necessary advancement in their next year’s car.
Besides, he said that they have two different co-ordinators for the construction of car for 2013 and 2014. He also said that Resta, who is one of the finest engineers in F1, will be the head of the project for the development of next year’s car.
“As regards the design, we have decided, particularly in light of the unusual demands we will face in 2013, when we will have a completely new project to work on for the future, to have two coordinators: Simone Resta, an engineer who has developed his career

last few races.
Therefore, the Italian has insisted that they are aiming to start the next season with a competent car in order to win the world championship title.
“We are well aware that we must start off with more competitive car, as our President, Luca Di Montezemolo has demanded,” he added.
