Marchionne: “Work on the new car delayed”

To try to keep the 2015 world championship alive, which was then won by Mercedes, the Ferrari slowed down work on the new machine.

The President revealed it Sergio Marchionne: “In fact, as the team principal can also confirm Maurice Arrivabene to develop the SF15-T until the last race we decided to put aside some aspects of the 2016 single-seater for a while, such as the chassis, knowing that we had the time and resources available to be ready for Melbourne" .

“Certainly the path taken is rather clear and defined, so I really believe that it won't be so easy for the Germans to repeat themselves even though it would be presumptuous to immediately unbalance themselves on intentions of success – he continued – I remember at the beginning of last season the manager Zetsche spoke about us with a good dose of arrogance. Today his statements have definitely been scaled down. It's clear that the Rossa's results on the track and the recovery capabilities demonstrated have forced him to change his mind."
