F1 | Alesi: “The race in Bahrain was a cold shower for Ferrari”

In a long chat given to the columns of "Il Corriere della Sera", Jean Alesi analyzed Ferrari's performance on the Sakhir track in Bahrain, specifying how the accentuated consumption of the compounds - especially the rear ones - did not allow Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz to best optimize the racing potential of the SF-23.

A real "cold shower", unexpected after the aerodynamic development carried out during the winter, which will have to push the Scuderia's technicians to implement corrective measures to the package as quickly as possible.

“Bahrain was a cold shower for every fan Ferrari“, said the Frenchman. “A disappointing maiden race with the feeling that the problems that emerged during testing remained unresolved. When Ferrari technicians seek performance by lowering the car, tire wear increases. Which led to significant gaps in Bahrain. The problem forces a kind of immediate remedial examination. Not simple and perhaps not short, assuming that finding an aerodynamic balance is enough to recover."
