Ferrari have had a pretty promising 2021 so far and in the five races we have had it looks as though they have drastically moved on from what was a frankly awful 2020 by their standards. Naturally, it doesn’t take much for the hype to grow around the sport’s most iconic team and all eyes will be glued on them to see if they can maintain things in the coming Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
Laurent Mekies, though, has warned that it could potentially be a race that sees McLaren back in front of Ferrari, whilst the natural order of Mercedes and Red Bull right at the front should also be restored.
Ferrari’s Laurent Mekies on team’s tactics in Azerbaijan Grand Prix
“This is the start of a difficult part of the season for us,” Mekies said via the Italian version of Motorsport.com.
“If in Spain the SF21 was clearly the third strongest force in the field and in Monaco it even showed the potential to win, the situation should be different in the next few races, starting with Baku.”
Mekies added, “Already this weekend we expect a very strong McLaren which should adapt very well to the characteristics of the circuit and then take the lead of the group behind the two teams fighting for the World Championship.
“We also believe that Alpine, AlphaTauri and Aston Martin will be very competitive.”
“The main objective on our side will be to express all the potential available and try to make the most of every opportunity. To use a footballing metaphor, we’ll try to play good defense and hit back,” Mekies concluded.
