Ferrari kept Maranello fully active during the unexpected month-long break after the cancelled Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix, using the time for deeper technical analysis, Motorsport.com reports.
Loic Serra, Ferrari technical director, told Motorsport.com the extra time allowed engineers to delve further into opening-round data without facing an immediate new race, permitting more detailed component and setup evaluations.
The team used the period for a Pirelli tyre test, a TPC session at Mugello and a Monza filming day, while the Bahrain pit setup remained in place awaiting shipment and garage kits were reorganised.
Sporting director Diego Ioverno said "What break? There was no break at all" and warned that logistics must be managed tightly under the budget cap as schedules and transport plans are reworked.
