Ferrari in 'need' of answers as to why F1 development has stalled

 

While the Maranello squad and its main F1 rival were pretty evenly matched over the first half of the campaign, more recently Red Bull has been in dominant form, with Max Verstappen winning the last five races despite only starting from pole once.

"If we look back at the last races, where in terms of tyre degradation we have not been the best, we certainly had issues with the car balance," he explained.

"Having an open balance, medium-high speed to low-speed corners, generated overheating into the tyres themselves, which somehow then brings to the degradation. So, we know that the car balance was not the right one.

"The reason of the poor car balance was due to aero developments that brought us there. It was a question mark for us."
