Ferrari test driver Marc Gene says that this is the best pre-season he has seen from the Maranello squad in the time he's been with the team.
Many are saying that Ferrari is very close to or even matching the pace of Mercedes, who have dominated the sport in the last three years, since the introduction of the V6 power units.
"I've been at Ferrari for 13 years and I think this has been the best preseason I can remember," Gene said. "The drivers are very happy and the reliability we have shown has been excellent," the 42-year-old told Spain's El Mundo Deportivo newspaper.
Gene also thinks the 2017 field in general is going to impress the watching world this year: "I think we're going to see a lot of track records," he said.
Ferrari has not won a driver's championship since 2007 and a constructors title since 2008, and many are hoping 2017 can be the year their drought ends.
