Mercedes and Ferrari will have improvements to their respective 2010 cars at Hockenheim this weekend.<\/p>\n
According to German reports, the W01 is set to feature a development of its switchable F-duct system, as well as a refined blown exhaust.<\/p>\n
“We have worked hard,” confirmed competition director Norbert Haug.\u00a0 “We have sorted out many of the problems we’ve seen in the last two races.”<\/p>\n
Mercedes team boss Ross Brawn is cautious.\u00a0 “Unfortunately the wind tunnel can’t simulate everything, like the impact of hot exhaust gases at high speed.<\/p>\n
“But if everything works as planned, we can be confident,” he is quoted by Auto Motor und Sport.<\/p>\n
Also primarily in the area of the blown diffuser, Hockenheim is another step in Ferrari’s developments that began at Valencia.<\/p>\n
“On Friday we’ll see if it brings the effects we hope for,” confirmed Fernando Alonso.<\/p>\n
Renault’s Robert Kubica is predicting a difficult German grand prix.<\/p>\n
“Most of the teams we are racing now have both the F-duct and the blown floor, so I think it could be quite a tough weekend,” said the Pole.<\/p>\n
Italy’s Autosprint reports that, after the August break, another wave of major improvements will be added to the Ferrari.<\/p>\n
