Long time Ferrari test driver Marc Gene believes that the 2017 Ferrari car has no weak points. So far this season, the Maranello based team has taken two victories and are well in the hunt for another pair of titles, rising to the challenge of the previously dominant Mercedes.
"We knew our car was good from the start, but there are always doubts," the Spaniard told the Spanish sports daily Diario Sport. "Under Arrivabene's management, we were asked to be cautious, remain very focused and not be influenced by others.
"But now, after five races, we have proved that we are fast on all kinds of circuits and conditions. And that is what you need to fight for a championship. This Ferrari has no weak points."
However, he acknowledged that Ferrari will often struggle to compete with Mercedes on Saturdays this year: "In qualifying, we know that Mercedes uses a more aggressive engine map and are aware that it will cost us some poles," said Gene.
But he tipped the fight for the 2017 world championship to remain exciting anyway: "We will see the cars develop but I honestly believe that it will not be decided until the last race," said the former Minardi and Williams driver.
