Ferrari Hopes, Hard Tires Changed

Ferrari plans to conduct discussions with Pirelli about the possibility of further changes need to be there or not against the hard tire compound for the rest of this season. "Scuderia" want to do after experiencing many problems with the tire rubber at the Spanish Grand Prix last weekend.

Both Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa have difficulty in grip (grip) tires hard-and trouble is clear when Alonso effectively lost a lot of lap time with the leaders of the race at Barcelona when he was replaced.

Ferrari team principal, Stefano Domenicalli, told Autosport: "At least, you can not say that the Pirelli works for Ferrari ... have no doubt from the beginning that the company will ensure that the tires for the team will be perfect!"

"Now, in addition, we need to see what is next. We need to work very closely with them, to see if it's something right that we should have."

Domenicalli acknowledge that downforce to be one thing that makes Ferrari's difficult to compete with Red Bull Racing. Nevertheless, he was not too sure what became the main picture is not pretty competitive team.

"We must be very careful," he said. "We've seen so many different things that happen in the first few races since the beginning. It is difficult to make an assessment at this time.

"What we see in Spain is a condition that requires maximum downforce with and we do not have it! We have to multiply the hard fact that the tires could not make it work. Remember, Fernando led for 18 laps in 46 laps, so we were overtaken, lost about three seconds per lap. It's hard to explain.

"I must say that this is the worst race for us since the beginning in terms of speed. In the last few races we were fast, and it is shameful. But we have seen that everything is easy to change this year, and perhaps aspects of the tires have made a big difference.

"So, we need to be careful. We need to see where we are on the next series, when we have a different tire, which is much more delicate, and different configurations of the car. Then, we'll see where we are in the standings because we will not give up
