Ferrari aim to counter any step forward by McLaren at the upcoming Spanish grand prix by improving by as much as two or three tenths per lap.
That is the revelation of Marc Gene, who is an active test driver for the Maranello based team.
“We will also race in Barcelona with important aerodynamic modifications,” the 33-year-old, fresh from victory in a recent sports car race at Monza, told the newspaper Marca on Thursday.
“It will be our first major update of the year, and we want it to deliver between two and three tenths.”
Spaniard Gene said Ferrari’s F2007 had been specifically designed to allow for unproblematic and genuine developments.
Explaining that the car’s update will be tested at Barcelona next week, he added: “We knew that there were many ways in which we could improve this car.”
