Scuderia Ferrari Team Principal Mattia Binotto recently explained that the Italian side will not bring any major upgrades for this second pre-season testing session and will instead focus on maximizing the potential of the F1-75 car. Formula 1 journalist and analyst Giuliano Duchessa also confirmed the information and added that the Maranello team will test a new floor which should bring some improvements:
“Ferrari will not show radical changes to the car before Australia. The F1-75 performed well in Barcelona, so Ferrari will try to get the car to the limit of its potential in Bahrain. A new floor with some aerodynamic changes will be used in testing this week.” – FIA accredited Formula 1 journalist Giuliano Duchessa posted on Twitter ahead of the start of the Bahrain testing session.
