Ferrari had strong comeback last season after summer break and stunned its competitors.
The hopes had doomed for Ferrari at the start when Mercedes aced victory after victory.
However, the Italian Sceduria managed to perfrom as per fans expectations. It managed to finish fouth and fifth on drivers’ standing with Charles Leclerc outperforming its team mate Sebastian Vettel, who own four world titles.
Lewis Hamilton won sixth F1 world title while struggling in the second half of the season to remain dominant in different races.
Mattia Binotto, Ferrari team principal, is positive for 2020. The team will be approaching this season differently which will provide them with an advantage over the title defender Brit.
Last year, Ferrari remained dominant on straights but corners discouraged its overall ambitions of remaining on top. This year team will also be focusing on the corners to defeat Mercedes and Red Bull.
Ferrari admitted the downside of the decision that it will likely put their advantage of dominating straights at risk. But it will help with more down force in the corners.
“Our car next year is aiming for a lot more downforce,” Binotto said.
” And by having more downforce, [it will certainly produce] more drag.
“We are not expecting to be as far[ahead] on the straight as we have been. ”
Binotto also added that team had also worked on different aspects of upgrading during winter break.
“We have changed, by quite a lot, our power unit, in terms of architecture, the cylinder, he said. ”
