Fernando Alonso says Ferrari know what they need to improve for China and Spain, but has revealed the car will virtually be in the same spec as Australia for the Bahrain Grand Prix.
In an all too familiar situation, the Spaniard once again finds himself fighting to harvest up as many points as possible whilst watching his World Championship rivals drive off into the distance.
Ferrari have been notoriously slow starters in recent years – since joining the Scuderia in 2010 only once has Alonso stood atop the podium at the opening race of the year, and that was his debut race – and after two fourth-place finishes so far this, the Spaniard does not expect the situation to improve in Bahrain this weekend.
