Mattia Binotto has revealed that his team "will have a few small evolutions" for the French Grand Prix. Ferrari will hope that this means that they will be able to compete with Mercedes and try and get their first win of the 2019 season. After the disappointment of the Canadian Grand Prix, Ferrari will be looking to bounce back and score some valuable points.

"Following Canada, we definitely want to get back on track and go racing with our rivals once again," said Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto as quoted by Motorsport.com.

"In France we will have a few small evolutions, elements that represent for us a useful step in defining the direction we will take in developing the car.

"What we will be bringing won't be the solution to our problems, but the technical feedback we get from these evolutions will be important for the next steps we take.

"Paul Ricard has been a tricky circuit for us last year and we know that this kind of track isn't particularly favorable for our package, but nothing is impossible so we will be ready to do our best."

Ferrari fans will hope that this means the team will start to compete with the Silver Arrows and that they can start to score more championship points.
