Ferrari Struggling With Tires - Costa
Ferrari technical director Aldo Costa says the team was mystified when it had problems with tire warm-up yesterday, which forced it to focus on using the soft tires earlier in qualifying than planned.
The problem was especially acute for Felipe Massa, who has always struggled in such situations.
“This morning the car was not fast,” he said on Saturday night. “We were doing some modifications yesterday following set-up development that we had to do to correct the balance of the car, but today it was not as expected, so we went back for qualifying with more or less the same car as Friday.
“Then we were struggling with the hard tires to find the correct warm-up. And the qualifying was all conservative, because we had to stay on the conservative side, so we used one set of soft in Q1, and had less sets in Q2 and Q3. It was a consequence of what happened in FP3.
“Felipe is struggling more than Fernando. It’s a problem that we saw in the past and never really solved.”
Clearly there could races coming up where being kinder on the tires will be an advantage.
“In some years it was a benefit to have this kind of car. We have done a race simulation in Barcelona, mainly with Fernando, and we were pretty happy about the result. We hope to gain some ground tomorrow [Sunday]. In the past it has worked – now everything is different, tire, cars. Let’s see tomorrow and understand if it’s then something we can let’s say we can have back in other conditions for the rest of the season.”

Cuando Costa dijo realmente esto, nosotros somos enroscados.
He just declared Ferrari bankrupt.
