Ferrari, along with most other teams, will have a truck load of new development upgrades for their car in Barcelona but Sebastian Vettel is managing expectations by adopting a wait and see approach for the weekend in Barcelona.
Speaking from the paddock in Circuit de Catalunya, Vettel said, "I think everybody is right: we have to wait and see what’s happening on Sunday as Barcelona has always been historically the track where to bring updates, sometimes bigger, sometimes smaller."
"We’re doing as all the other teams, bringing updates to catch up who’s in front of us. Every time you bring new parts you have to wait and see if they’re working well or not when you’re on the track and it also depends on how big is the step that the other teams has done," said the four times worldchampion.
Reports suggest that Ferrari have a vastly revised SF15-T which they will unleash in Spain, as the Maranello outfit pursue pace setters Mercedes.
"Compared to the gap to the other teams we’ve seen here during the winter test session three months ago, we’ve improved a lot, but the gap [to Mercedes] is still there."
"What we really need is to be faster, in every condition: it’s true that we know this track very well, but it is also true that we have very different conditions compared to the winter session. It is 15-20 degrees hotter now and I don’t need to explain you what does it mean," added Vettel.
The German lies third in the F1 world championship standings with a victory to his credit after four races.
