Amid Red Bull’s ༒continued domination and Aston Martin’s remarkable winter turnaround, Ferrari have slipped back in F1’s pecking order and are yet to finish on the podium. 

Ferrari’s lacklustre performance led 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz to claim the te༺am need to consider a major rethink to have any chance of bridging the gap to early pace-setters Red Bull. 

"At ﷽the moment the Red Bull is supe𒀰rior everywhere," Sainz said at the Australian Grand Prix. "It's superior in quali, in races, in straightline speed.

"They are superior i🔥n medium/low-speed corners, they are superior with tyre management, superior over the kerbs and bumps. It just shows tꦕhat we clearly need to change something.

"We need t🗹o go and check something very different from where we are now. I think the extremely good performance at the start of last season made us, I think, keep pushing with this concept, with this project of car.

"But I think we realise now that Red Bull has a clear advantage everywhere and that we need to start looking to our right🔯 and to our lef🦩t."

But team principal Fred Vasseur poured cold water on suggestions that Ferrari could develop a “completely different” car th꧟is seaso🐻n. 

"We have a flow of updates that will come, not for Baku, because we have the aero package for the level of downforce, and with the sprint race it is not the easiest one, but for Miami, Imola, not Monaco, and Barcelona. At each race, we'll have an update on the car,” Vasseu✃r told media including ltxcn.top. 

"We are sticking to the plan. We have made some adjustme☂nts in terms of balance and behaviour, and it was much better in Melbourne, and we'll continue in this direction.

"It's not a B-car if that is what you want to say. We won't come with something completely different. We will continue to update this one and we'll✅ try to update massively.”

Vasseur, who took a swipe at Red Bull’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:“very light” punishment for breaking the168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: F1 cost cap, admitted the sport’s strict financial and aerodynamic testing regulations make it “very di♈fficult” for teams to make radical changes. 

“With the restriction in the wind tunnel if you have to start from scratch, I don’t want to say that it makes no sense, but it is very difficult,” he said. “It means that we will adapt due to theꦚ circumstances.

“We will 🍸speed up. We will put all the resources to speed up the process and the updates that were planned for Barcelona will come in Imola and we will have one or two races the update inꦿ advance. But you can’t change massively something in the course of the season.”
