A former Ferrari employee has singled out what he believes is the big problem within the Maranello outfit. F1
A former Ferrari staff member believes the team’s main problem this year is the tyres and it is an issue that has plagued them throughout the last decade.
A key example of this was in the opening race in Bahrain when the two Red Bulls managed to make a soft-soft-hard strategy last as long as Ferrrari’s soft-hard-hard. Ferrari’s former head of communications Alberto Antonini said it was concerning that the tyre issue was solely felt by Ferrari and not also their customer teams.FormulaPassion“On one hand, it is clear that if the problems are only with the SF-23 and not the other cars, the blame lies with Ferrari and not Pirelli. On the other hand, there seems to be a clear technical communication issue between Maranello and the sole tyre supplier.
“During the Bridgestone era, it wasn’t like this,” Antonini continued. “But back then, the Japanese [supplier] paid the team each year for the privilege of supplying the tyres.“Together, they achieved incredible things, including making a ‘full radial’ type of tyre work in testing, which means the structure was oriented orthogonally to the direction of travel, while usually there is some degree of inclination.
