Scuderia Ferrari Maranello, Italy
Sebastian Vettel
Charles LeClerc
Also engine 062 Evo is not quite up to date.
I see no reason for them to lie. Information about the short gearbox does not give anything valuable to rivals. Even if we assume that Ferrari begins to use "sandbags" (poor results in a wind tunnel) before the start of the tests, RB and Mercedes will still focus on maximum improvement for the upcoming struggle between themselves. I am more inclined to think that ordinary employees of the plant are too talkative with reporters.
In my opinion it's just Ferraris private silly seasonjumpingfish wrote: ↑15 Jan 2020, 07:50Has anyone else noticed that lately there have been a lot of “insiders” from Ferrari? It is strange to me that journalists are very well aware of how much less the gearbox will be accurate to 1 mm, that the wheelbase will be shorter by 30 mm, the rake will increase, the engine will become more powerful by 30 hp, the results in the wind tunnel and on the simulator are unsatisfactory and etc. Is such an information leak allowed by the management of the team, or are ordinary workers too frank outside the factory?
What I can't understand is the Italian media's attempts to look everywhere for hidden meanings, conspiracies, political aspects and so on in the ordinary decisions of the team management.Interestingly, Mattia Binotto has decided to deploy only the pilot who has a valid contract for next season (Charles has extended until 2023), while Sebastian Vettel is expiring agreement at the end of this season and will have to negotiate during the season the possible renewal.
The vision, therefore, is very clear, and we believe this, but someone suggests that we can also read a hierarchy of the Scuderia on the approach to the season of the two riders of the Cavallino.
Seems to just be the way some of the Italian media go about "reporting" these things.jumpingfish wrote: ↑23 Jan 2020, 12:37Leclerc will test 18" tyres

"Leclerc will test, and Vettel - not. Aha! Is Vettel's career over? NicoRosberg.jpg"
Can anyone find similar in the British or German media about Russel testing tires instead of Ham or Bottas? Maybe when Sirotkin was testing 18" the French assumed Ricciardo will be expelled?
