Difficult year for Ferrari

Disappointing performance of the Ferrari F150 from the last GP Shanghai was Alonso accusation to his car. He said that even if the race is 56 laps three times he entered Pitstop, the result will not change.

Alonso statement clearly implies that the engine power can not compensate RB7 F150 (Red Bull) and MP4-26 (McLaren). "We will see now, which is best. Choosing a strategy would be very easy if we have a very fast car," said 2004 and 2005 world champion told Spanish television after the race.

"To be able to win races in China, besides a good tire degradation, the proper tactics are also needed. If the two elements were fulfilled, then we could overtake," he said. "Like I said, that is easy is if we have a fast car, such as Red Bull. You want Pitstop three times, two, or one-time, would be on the podium," he said.

Alonso denied that he had problems with his car. He said that the F150 just slower. he expected that Ferrari must quickly take action.

Former Renault team boss, Flavio Briatore, claims the praching horse squad could only ranked third this year. "Ferrari will not be able to challenge the Red Bull this year."

Briatore criticized the Ferrari because he is also Fernando Alonso, Ferrari's flagship manager. It is impossible, he said, Ferrari could compete in the future. Only three series have already missed 55 points behind Red Bull. The rest three weeks before facing Turkey series was a period to improve the F150.

Ferrari team boss, Stefano Domenicali acknowledges that it is not possible to do quick fixes, particularly the problems experienced as less good performance of the car.

"The person behind the wheel is important, but the car is much more important," he said, as quoted by The Times F1. He continued, if a rider is very competitive, competitive car makes a difference, but could not because Fernando had a problem with the car.

In his eyes, Ferrari less creative, not like Red Bull who have professors Adrean Neway. It had been so, added Briatore, Red Bull have strong financial and equipment qualified. So, worth if Red Bull can dominate the race.
