Ferrari’s race for the title re-engaged gear on Monday morning as their two-week enforced shut-down came to an end.
The Scuderia are determined to further close the gap after a couple of excellent performances which saw them secure a 1-2 in Hockenheim.
“This morning everyone was working again at full throttle,” read a statement on the team’s website.
“Within the factory one can instantly sense the feeling that everyone wants to carry on with the fight-back that began at Hockenheim and continued in Budapest.
“The 73 points picked up in these two races have seen the gap in both classifications come down, even if there is still a very steep mountain to climb.”
A handful of updates, including an updated rear-blown diffuser will be introduced at first free practice for the Belgium GP, where the Italian outfit will make a decision on whether to run it throughout qualifying and the race.
“There are some new aerodynamic components being introduced for this race, most significantly an updated version of the diffuser: these will be tested on track on Friday and then the data will be evaluated and a final decision taken regarding their use in qualifying and the race.”
