Ferrari is bracing itself for a slow start to the 2020 Formula One season after its poor performance in pre-season testing prompted a rethink of the car's development that will not bear fruit before the third round in Hungary.
As a result, Ferrari will run the same specification of car it used at the end of testing in February at this weekend's season-opening Austrian Grand Prix, giving rivals Mercedes and Red Bull, who both have upgrades ahead of the first race, an immediate head start.
Ferrari was the third fastest team in pre-season testing in February and admitted its car's performance was below expectations.
