“We have to react immediately and show what we can do,” said Stefano Domenicali at the end of the usual Monday debrief. “The ability to develop the car has always been a strong point for Ferrari and there is no reason why that should not be the case now: the people are the same, as are our work methods. Yesterday at the circuit, at the end of the race, I spoke to the journalists about the need to be innovative and creative and I reprised this message with our engineers this morning. We are a strong and united group and there is a strong desire to show what we are made of.”

The team is now working on preparing for the Canadian round in Montreal. The single-seaters and equipment from Istanbul Park are now on the ship back from Turkey and heading for the port of Trieste meaning they will arrive back in Maranello tomorrow (Wednesday). However, only two days later everything will have to be ready for air-freighting to Montreal. There is no time for anyone to pause for breath in this very busy season.

However there is unlikely to be much change in Ferrari's pace in Montreal, and so Domenicali is pinning his hopes on an aero upgrade that is due for Valencia. He also admitted that the team has spent much time in trying to incorporate McLaren's F-duct concept into the F10's design, with limited success so far. "It is for sure true that we have invested a lot in the new system with the wing, but it is not enough and it is not perfect yet," Domenicali after the Turkish Grand Prix, reported Autosport. "What should happen in the next month is that in Valencia we should have a big update where there will be a lot of new parts on the car. But it is true from the fact point of view that the bits we tried to put in place were not enough to cope with the pace of the development that the biggest teams have done."
