Reports: Ferrari F1 Have Successfully Isolated and Fixed Problems in Early Design of the Car

Earlier, Scuderia Ferrari fans were resigning themselves to witness another tough season. As it turned out, there were reports that the team was not happy with their car, but now the mood has changed.

According to Motorsport.com Italy, Scuderia Ferrari have begun testing ‘Project 671’ on their dynamic test bench. This test bench is also reffered to as the Seven Post Rig at the Maranello factory.

Apparently, this now means that Ferrari can test the entire 2020 car. The primary objective for the tests, will be to assess the car’s reliability and understand the performance and setup requirements. This will be done so that the team can be better prepared for pre-season testing on February 19.

As  per the report, the dynamic test bench can also help the car simulate an entire Grand Prix weekend. Furthermore, the reports claimed that rumours of design flaws had no impact on the team’s schedule.

In other words, it can be assumed that either Ferrari has got to the bottom of the issue, or that said issues were blown out of proportion.

How goes the preparation for Scuderia Ferrari?

It is noteworthy that journalist Franco Nugnes believes that the Italian squad is developing new parts to improve performance. The gameplan also suggests that these parts will be put through the paces in Barcelona in a bid to “hunt the Silver Arrows”.

All of this comes as Ferrari prepares to kick off the official 2020 F1 car launches. This year, the Maranello outfit are planning a grand spectacle at the Romolo Valli Municipal Theatre in Reggio Emilia on February 11.

For the coming season, the scarlet team enters the championship with an unchanged lineup. To be honest though, Charles Leclerc and Sebastian Vettel are highly rated drivers and have the capability to bring glory. However, there is only major thorn on their side, and that is the Mercedes team.
