Carlos Sainz’s worrying Ferrari “lost months” of F1 development admission
Ferrari have "lost months" of F1 development time compared to their rivals, Carlos Sainz h😼as admitted.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz says Ferrari have lost “two or three months” of development time compared to their F1 rivals after removing a troublesome upgrade.
Ferrari fitted their SF-24 with a major new upgrade package at last month’s S🌟paniཧsh Grand Prix but have been battling an unforeseen bouncing problem in high-speed corners.
After an expe✨rimental Friday at Silverstone, Ferrari reverted to their old-spec floor and bodywork which was used at Imola for the rest of the British Grand Prix weꦯekend.
Sainz qualified seventh at Silverstone, while168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Charles Leclerc fa𓃲iled to reach Q3, qualifying 11th. In Sunday’s race they finished fifth and 14th respectively.
"It is clearly not good enough," Sainz said. "We have basically the same car as in Imola and since Imola everyone has upgraded, probably🍎 added two tenths to the car and we have had to revert.
"We have lost two or three months of performance gaiജn in the wind tunnel or performance we could have added in these three months, so clearly we haven't taken the right calls recent𓆏ly.
"I feel like today was at least back-to-basics, back to a car which was in Imola and we just need to upgrade it from here. But it is cle๊ar that our rivals are a good step ahead of us.”
Sainz suggested Ferrari may have to “live” with the new package for the upcoming Hungarian Grand Prix, given🍸 the Hungaroring largely consists of low-speed, ꦺtwisty corners.

“It still means we will bounce in [turn♒s] four and eleven. But until then, nothing better will come,” Sainz explained.
“We might need to live with the bouncing for slow-speed performance while in high-speed tracks we miꦜght need to run this floor of the old package if the other one is undriveable.
“That’s the situation we’re in,” he added. “I trust the team will do the right calls circuit-to-circuit unꦑtil a more solid package, whic🍌h is not bouncing in high-speed and good in low-speed, arrives, and then we will start thinking about battling the top three teams again.”
Asked if Ferrari will consider going back to the Barcelona package for Budapest, team principal Fred Vasseur said: “This we will have to have a deep analysis on the weekend, and consider the fact🗹 t🧸hat Silverstone was from far the most aggressive track in terms of bouncing with very high-speed corners and so on.
“But we'll 🦄hav𓄧e time to discuss and to decide for Budapest.”
On the bouncing issues thwarting Ferrari, Vasseur said: “I think it's still a question mark for everybody, that sometimes the bouncing is popping up like this. It's quite d💎ifficult to have a correlation because you don't have the bouncing into the wi𒊎nd tunnel.
“We all have metrics, and I don't want to go deep in detail, but we all have metrics. You can anticipate that you will🤪 have more bouncing with this part with another one, but to know if it will have a negative impact on the performance, it's another story.
“To fix it, you have tons of solutions. You have solutions with a compromise on performance. You have solutions without compromise on performance, dev☂eloping new packages. I think we are there now.
“We’ll have to d𝓰eal perhaps next race with the current car, and the sooner the better, we'll bring an upgrade with less bouncing.”
