LONDON - Ferrari are planning to speed up the introduction of upgrades to their under-performing Formula One car after a difficult season-opening race in Austria last Sunday.
The Italian team had aimed to bring new parts to the July 19 Hungarian Grand Prix, but said on Monday they hoped to have some for next weekend's Styrian Grand Prix at the same Austrian circuit. "The SF1000 didn’t measure up, even compared to expectations ahead of the event," Ferrari said on their"This is in the hope of bringing forward to next weekend the introduction of the aerodynamic package scheduled for the Hungarian Grand Prix – or, at least, some of its components."
Ferrari said having two back-to-back races at the same circuit allowed the upgrades to be checked more accurately. Despite Charles Leclerc finishing second in Austria, the Monegasque was also lucky in a race with only 11 finishers and three safety car periods.
