Ferrari sportscar fans be reassured: the red cars are still holding back in the World Endurance Championship. And they'll be dialling up the aggression as Le Mans approaches 💬
Ferrari has admitted that it was probably too conservative in its approach to last weekend’s Portimao round of the World Endurance Championship.
“We tried not to have any kind of cliff or give-up of the tyres - the opposite approach [to Sebring] to have flat degradation. Salvi confirmed that the Ferraris had raced exclusively on the medium compound Michelin tyre rather than a mix of the mediums and softs run by race winner Toyota as well as Porsche, which took the final spot on the podium.
He also explained that there is also still a requirement to “nurse the car a bit because it is complicated and still brand new”.
