Binotto says updates impossible: "Would be surprised if teams had something"

At the 'film day' of Red Bull Racing at Silverstone the RB16 appeared on the asphalt despite the lockdown with some new parts. The question is whether these will also be on the car this weekend. Mattia Binotto, team boss at Ferrari, has his doubts about that.

With Sky Italia, Binotto looks ahead to the coming weekend and the rest of the season. He clearly places his own team in the underdog position. He has to admit that the winter tests in Barcelona don't give a positive picture of the SF1000. He still keeps those tests as a benchmark, because according to him not much has changed since then. If the team doesn't have any new parts on the car, then the question is.

"Impossible," says Binotto. "We will appear with the same car as in Australia. There has not been time to develop, we are stuck on regulations. Everyone has been able to come up with things, but first they have to go to the test bench and the wind tunnel. I'd be surprised if some teams had developments, because we've all stalled".

"It will certainly be different than usual, it will be very intense. We will have to focus on ourselves. It will be a difficult start of the season for us given the tests in Barcelona, but we are developing the car now, we are focusing on the best possible performance".
