Spanish Grand Prix – A “corrida” for tyres
Vettel and Ioverno: “A look at the tyre factor in Spain”
Maranello, 10 May – The Spanish GP is the fifth round on the #formula1 calendar and for several years it has signaled the start of the now rather short season of races held on the Old Continent. There is unanimity of opinion on the Catalan track between #sebastianvettel and Scuderia Ferrari’s Race Team Manager #diegoioverno. Here, on the eve of the Grand Prix, they take a look at what the weekend has in store. For Sebastian “Barcelona is a very good indication of where you are with the car. We can see a good reference where we stand, therefore it is incredibly important to get all the details right because you know that track so well. It is very important to get everything together to be able to perform high.” This circuit is particularly demanding on the tyre front. “You have a lot of corners, high-speed corners, low-speed corners, quick changes of direction, slow chicanes, a lot of traction requires from the car, from the tires. It is a big stress, therefore it is very important to look after tires.” #diegoioverno agrees with that assessment as he looks at the topic from an organizational point of view: “The Spanish GP has been the first race in the calendar in which we can move cars and materials on wheels, rather than flying them and this obviously gives us several opportunities. First of all, we can prepare the cars in the factory and we can also use our own facilities at the circuit, such as offices on the track and the hospitality, with all the pros of having known tools and the possibility to give to our guests a better accommodation.” The circuit is particularly well known to those who work in #formula1. “Barcelona circuit is well known by all the teams, because we run there also the preseason tests. It’s really demanding for tires, there we are going to see movement during the race because of different choices of strategies.”
