Dominant Ferrari expect to run an
even better car in front of their home fans at Imola this month
after winning the first three races of the season, according to
technical director Ross Brawn.
"We have a new package for Imola," Britain's
Motorsport News quoted him as saying on Wednesday.
"There's no reason why we can't keep on improving
-- that's the great thing about the stability: you find these increments
all the time."
Ferrari have been Formula One constructor's champions
for the past five years and Michael Schumacher looks set for a seventh
drivers' title after taking maximum points so far this year.
The San Marino Grand Prix is on April 25 and Schumacher
has won there four times in the last five years.
Brawn said Ferrari remained concerned about certain
circuits, such as Hungary and Hockenheim, where rivals might still
have a tyre advantage in hot weather.
He recognised that the team could now have the most
powerful engine and said Ferrari were wary of Jenson Button's BAR.
"BAR is going to be a threat," said Brawn.
"They look to be the coming men on Michelins
because their main competitors are having a difficult time at the
moment," added the Englishman.
"They'll start to improve their consistency
now and that will make them stronger." |
