Ferrari’s Pat Fry has said that the team are beginning to turn their focus to their 2015 car; also stating that the Scuderia will be testing some parts at this weekends Singapore Grand Prix.
Another disappointing campaign has come Ferrari’s way, without being able to compete consistently challenge at the front of the field. No victories since May 2013 and only two podiums this season have mounted to the misery of the Maranello based team.
Currently fourth in the constructors championship, 2014 has gone down the drain for Ferrari and engineering director Pat Fry has said the F14 T will feature parts for the 2015 car.
“At this stage of the season, the focus in the factory is shifting more towards next year’s car,” Fry told the official Ferrari website.
“However, there is still quite a lot we can learn from track testing, therefore we will be bringing some specific test components for next year and other developments for the F14 T, which will help our understanding for next year.”
Fry also admitted that Ferrari are once again expecting a tough weekend in Singapore.
“Even though it’s a night race, the temperatures are still very high, in the high 20s or low 30s, which puts heavy demands on the cooling systems for the engine and the ERS,” he said. “In addition, the start-stop nature of the layout puts a high loading on the brake systems, with the front brakes in particular taking a real pounding.”
