Ferrari under-delivered at the Spanish Grand Prix, after the pace both Mercedes cars ended up in the gravel on lap one, it was expected that the Reds would have taken command, but instead they were out paced by Red Bull.
The Maranello team's technical director James Allison reveals how the team got to the bottom of the problem during testing immediately after the race.
"We spent a couple of days in Barcelona after the Grand Prix through a whole range of technical set-ups and improvements to our car," said Allison.
"It was a very successful test for us and happily we made some progresses, so we are looking forward to taking more lessons and applying them in Monaco."
After running at the sharp end throughout free practice in Barcelona in qualifying, Ferrari's pace evaporated when it mattered. Now Monaco beckons where strong qualifying will be vital.
Allison acknowledges ahead of the street race, "It is a circuit, of course, where a good grid position is absolutely everything for getting a good race result."
"That good grid position comes from a whole weekend where you can't afford any mistakes. The track changes so much as the weekend progresses that you have to be on it all the time."
"This is a very high downforce circuit, the corners being so slow, the straights being so short, and the cars which have the most downforce available generally do well on this track," explained the Ferrari technical chief.
