...Maybe he was confident of his teams efforts, until he saw what everyone else came up with. If Ferrari get beaten early on, I don't think we'll see a 'aero conservative' car for long, with inspiration coming undoubtedly from others in pitlane, if they haven't started the process already.......

I'd wager a year's supply of VB the Scuderia's "Squadra Oh Schifezza!"* already are burning the midnight olive oil on this one.



*Believed by some to be the true origin of the international distress code, "SOS"

[What's Burning?]

already are burning the midnight olive oil on this one.

For burning, I think it's just fine although a bit wasteful, for gastronomical consumption, I much prefer Spanish olive oil.

...Costa is making excuses for the fact that Ferrari have just discovered they've arrived for a gunfight armed with a badminton racquet....

And now Ferrari are trying to modify their badminton racquet into an AK-47. Or at least a croquet mallet.

This explains why Ferrari are tardy for Barcelona:

Ferrari 150° "Evolution" in secret tests
Modifications to the wing and exhaust exits

"Balance" my bum. They've not yet turned a wheel in anger and already Ferrari are making major revisions. Speaks volumes.

I think he meant a balanced platform, where any upgrades as necessary can be put on top of that, and aiming to be good overall in all areas, rather than focusing on one element and relying on the advantage of that outweighing the disadvantage of neglecting other elements.

Major updates don't go against that.

I think Balance and their performance from launch to now does "speak volumes".

At launch they specifically announced the car that will line up at the first race will look very different to the car they launched - now proved 100% accurate and on target.

Both drivers able to string together long runs on the Pirelli's with time degradations equal to the best - not a bad balance.

Lots of laps with very few problems - also not a bad balance.

Really? i think it speaks good! so far they have shown good pace, and have been consistent. Now its time to bring up the big guns, revisions and updates. No need to try all sort of different stuff only to not know which is the one that helps..... They've said there's lots of upgrades up to the 1st race, and there they are coming.

I see no reason to worry.... on the contrary.
