Fernando Alonso tried Ferrari's good result at Mugello small play. The Spaniard avers that the big technology step only in Barcelona. But if only details have been improved at Mugello, what comes then next week at the GP of Spain? A new car?
Ferrari made a good impression in Mugello. Not just because Fernando Alonso turned the third-fastest lap with 1.21,363 minutes, only 0.328 seconds slower than the day best Romain Grosjean. The Ferrari driver was quickly and constantly on the move throughout the day. One had the impression that he could shake the 1. 21 times from the wrist as Grosjean and the second-placed Sebastian Vettel.
Ferrari brought with him new baffles under the nose, new brake ducts, new page boxes with flush final exhaust, a slicker rear end, a modified rear wing and changes to the clutch in stages after Mugello. Nevertheless spoke of the Spaniards of small changes.
"We have decided to wait Spain Prix to give engineers more time with the big surge in development until the Grand." "The car will only be complete on Friday in Barcelona." When Ferrari has modified his F2012 at Mugello in detail, then the question arises after Alonso's statement: what awaits us in Barcelona? A new Ferrari?
The Italian media reacted peevishly to Ferrari's development policy. Tenor: Once we are told the half car is rebuilt, and then hardly new parts it should be. What are we to believe yet?
Fernando Alonso played down the good lap times at Mugello. "We have tested three exhaust versions." "As a hedge, which way we should go in the future." Alonso's opinion, the exhaust position plays only a minor role. It was not a problem, that Ferrari has slowed down in the first four races.
"The first four races have shown that the exhaust position is not critical". Until now, all possible exhaust solutions have won races. McLaren in Melbourne with an exhaust pointing outwards. Mercedes in Shanghai with an exhaust blowing inside. We in Malaysia with something in between. "Red bull is about equally quickly shut with two solutions, and Lotus has a quite conventional solution and the at the time perhaps the best car in the field."
Alonso expects an other Ferrari for Barcelona. One with which he no longer must tremble is in the top ten finals in qualifying. Spain is just the beginning. "Our biggest Aero step comes in Barcelona." The second in Montreal, the third in Valencia. We had in the first four races on average eight to nine tenths down on the top. "We want to catch up the largest part of it with our upgrade for Barcelona."
The two-time former world champion wanted to keep flat deliberately at Mugello the ball. Just no great hopes wake, which may then be disappointed. Body language says otherwise. If you looked in the Ferrari garage, then you saw in relaxed faces. Made even pictures in the net where you can see how Alonso makes faxing with his mechanics.
After his riding into the gravel the winner of the Malaysia spoke quite easily with a few buddies in the Ferrari motorhome. So no one looks, which suffered during the test running away one more disappointment. The Spaniard then saw a positive aspect: "Any changes we have made to Mugello, have invariably works." We had previously Committee ten changes four times. "We have the confidence that the data from the wind tunnel are now again."
