Gutierrez: “The weather is the biggest challenge”

Maranello, 11 November – “Without a doubt, the biggest challenge in Brazil will be the weather,” is the opening remark from Esteban Gutiérrez as he describes the Interlagos track to ferrari.com.

 “The Brazilian track has plenty of history and tradition and all the drivers are happy to race there. The teams might be a bit less pleased about it, because the paddock is rather cramped, but this year there’s been some rebuilding work so there should be nothing to complain about. Both technically and in terms of the atmosphere, this track has a special feeling all of its own, down to the fact Brazil is a great country with wonderful people. The shape of the track is quite special, different to all the others: you need a good level of aerodynamic downforce, while it’s not demanding on the brakes. My favourite part is the one that includes the Ferradura corner, because you come to it at high speed and then there’s immediately a climb. It’s not that easy to overtake here, but the Brazilian race always has a few surprises in store.”
