Scuderia Ferrari Team Principal Mattia Binotto has denied that the Italian side will use a ‘filming day’ at Silverstone on Wednesday in order to try urgent updates for the SF1000 car, after the disappointing performances in the start of the 2020 Formula One season.
While the other teams wait onsite for the second installation of the Silverstone double-header, Scuderia Ferrari will be in action mid-week. When asked if the Maranello team is using the opportunity to try urgent updates amid its competitive crisis, team boss Mattia Binotto explained:
“It is for our commercial needs. They are very limited and dedicated kilometres for filming. For the next grand prix, we are working back at home and also in the simulator,” he added.
When asked again by Germany’s RTL about rumours of car updates to run on Wednesday, Mattia Binotto said: “It’s not correct. The only objective is to do a day of filming. There will be no new parts on the car. We know what we need to improve, and we are working hard in Maranello. But it is true that the regulations do not make things easier for us. The engine is frozen for the season, so we can only work on the engine modes – the way we use the engine. Not on the hardware. And regarding the aero, we are limited to the time we can spend in the wind tunnel. The people who work for us have clear goals, so let them work and we’ll see.” – Scuderia Ferrari Team Principal Mattia Binotto concluded.
