F1 pundit Marc Surer thinks Ferrari could be set to take on Mercedes this weekend in Canada. Reports this week suggested an engine performance upgrade for the Italian team could move it within 15 horse power of dominant Mercedes.
And Speed Week separately reports that Ferrari’s works oil partner Shell has developed a new fuel that will also be debuted on the long straights of the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. “We do not stand still,” team boss Maurizio Arrivabene is quoted by SID news agency. “We have a few things in the pipeline.”
Surer, a former Swiss F1 driver who now works for the German broadcaster Sky, thinks Canada could be a good venue for Ferrari.
