They were behind in FP3 so they tried something new, it didnt work though.outsid3r wrote: ↑04 Sep 2017, 11:16In an interview, Sergio Marchionne admitted the team had 'messed up'. They did setup changes between Friday and Saturday, but since there was no dry running on Saturday, the first time the new setup was tested was during the race. It was all just a gamble and they clearly got it wrong big time. I wouldn't blame Ferrari for sticking to the new setup though... they have a tendency of delivering good improvements between FP2 and FP3 - it just wasn't the case this time round.
There is quite extended idea that the Mercedes is a very set-up sensitive car with a narrow working window and that they Ferrari is an easy car. But I think Monza proves that the car needs a very appropriate set-up to work properly.
Singapur should be a "comeback" race for the Scuderia, they absolutely need to win this race.
