Ferrari to put new aerodynamic package to the test

The last few rounds haven’t been very successful for the Scuderia Ferrari team with the back to back North American events not proving to be as successful as originally planned. While rivals at McLaren have enjoyed two one two finishes, the Maranello based squad have had one third, one fourth and one fifth placed finish to their name.

However, this week the team will be at the Silverstone circuit where they hope to begin the fight back by validating a new aerodynamic package ahead of round eight at the Magny Cours circuit in France.

"We have a completely different aerodynamic package to try at Silverstone," says Ferrari's head of track operations, Luca Baldisserri. "So hopefully we can have another step aerodynamically. We hope that the weather will be with us to at the moment we have quite a lot of rainfall forecast."

Set-up changes might also provide pace…

"That could be a solution, an easy solution. If we can find, with the set-up, the two or three tenths that at the moment we are missing, they will be welcome and it would be a straightforward solution. Unfortunately I don't think they are all there. We have to understand, investigate all the areas: aerodynamically, mechanically but on the engine as well."
