Ferrari boss Stefano Domenicali says that the team is still in the fight for the World Championship, despite Red Bull’s ominous performance advantage in Hungary.
Domenicali says that Ferrari has to take any opportunities that come its way, especially when the opposition slips up.
“I think that for sure if you look from the beginning they were consistently faster than anyone else,” he said. “Certain Grands Prix, like Spain, Turkey, they were able to be faster by more than one second. Here it was the maximum gap. But then we had a couple of races, Canada, Valencia, Silverstone, where the gap was pretty much smaller.
“So I think for sure it’s our objective, but it’s not easy. In order to fight for the championship we need to do the maximum we can in terms of development, and then score the maximum points that we can, because as we saw today, anything is possible and everything can happen to anyone.”
Ferrari is hoping that an upgrade package for the next race in Spa will give the F10 a boost: “We have some developments that will be done, considering the downforce level of the Spa track. If it’s enough to close the gap, we will see. We will have a feeling on the Friday evening of the Spa weekend.”
