Ferrari: Still room for improvement
Ferrari drivers Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen admitted they are still unsure about where their Ferrari team is following Friday practice for the Australian Grand Prix
The duo finished as 10th and 11th quickest respectively in this afternoon's session and both drivers said there was still room to improve.
"We are more or less okay with the set-up, although there is still room to improve the performance," said Massa.
"I was not able to do a time on the soft tyres in the second session as I made a mistake because of oversteer: in this phase we had a different balance on the car compared to when we had used the hard tyres, which proved not to be the ideal choice.
"On top of that, towards the end of the session, the wind got up a bit, which definitely did not help. Tomorrow, with everyone on the same fuel load, we will see what the situation is."
Raikkonen was adamant the team can easily improve its performance in tomorrow's qualifying, but conceded it was hard to tell how strong they can be.
"This morning, the car went well, while in the afternoon, we didn't manage to find a satisfactory set-up, even though we tried various solutions," he said.
"I think there is every chance we can improve our performance, but I can't say by how much compared to the others.
"Today, it's difficult to say where we are compared to them and we will see after tomorrow's qualifying."
