F1 – Chinese Doctor: Concerns at Red Bull because of Ferrari


After Japan last weekend, Formula 1 will continue its Asian tour in China. Once again, seeding can make a difference as it did in Melbourne. It is enough to cause concern in the Red Bull ranks because Ferrari has an advantage in this area.

Five years later, the System 1 he is preparing to return Chinese. At Red Bull, we believe that harvesting plays an important role in Shanghai and this little game, as we could see inside AustraliaIt is Ferrari who does well. Christian Horner and Helmut Marko so they are worried.

“We expect Ferraris to probably be our closest competitors”

« I am already happy that we are going back to China. It’s a good circuit for F1. The first corner drags, and for high-speed corners it has always been very punishing to the front tires, especially on the left. There’s also a sprint race, the first race of the year – so that’s another challenge. There will be a lot of scoring points, so it will be interesting to see how it goes. Grain will be the reason. And I think Ferrari at this Albert Park circuit was definitely competitive in that area, and we saw from Friday that their race pace was competitive. Should we admit defeat? Of course not but we expect the Ferraris to probably be our closest competitors there “, say Christian Horner in the comments made by Nextgen-Auto. Helmut Marko are of the same opinion.

“Hopefully we don’t have any surprises like in Melbourne”

« I hope we don’t have any surprises like in Melbourne. There, the pavement was very aggressive and we were completely wrong about the tire wear, which is one of our strong points. We could see with Checo the wear of the tires during the race. So it may still be a surprise in China, but we were warned by what happened in Melbourne and I think now we know how to react better. But this is a completely new situation for many of us that will await us in Shanghai “, he told it Mark.
