Formula 1’s Managing Director of Motorsports Ross Brawn says Ferrari can be lifted by the consistency of its SF71-H
Ferrari won back-to-back races at the start of the season, and have taken three successive pole positions, all courtesy of Sebastien Vettel.
Kimi Raikkonen has also displayed improved form, taking three straight front-row starts and a trio of podiums, contributing to Ferrari’s position atop the Constructors’ Championship.
“As Formula 1 prepares to tackle the first two races in Europe, one thing is clear, and that’s the fact that Ferrari currently has the best technical package,” said Brawn.
“From the heat of Bahrain to the cool weather in China and in windy Baku, the SF71-H has been competitive throughout.
“That’s the case in qualifying, as well as in the race, even if Vettel and Raikkonen haven’t picked up as many points as they should have done.
“And that’s what the Scuderia should reflect on. For whatever reason – bad luck, individual errors made – the points haul should have been bigger and that explains why Sebastian now trails Hamilton, and the team only has a slim four-point advantage over Mercedes.
“However, they can still be pleased with the fact that this is their best start to a season in many a year."
