Ferrari's technical chief Mattia Binotto says that there is no trend in the ongoing battle between Mercedes and Ferrari, and believes that the favourites for a Grand Prix weekend changes from race to race. Ferrari currently lies 39 points behind Mercedes in the constructor championship.
Ferrari started the season strongly, winning two of the opening three races. However, after the Monaco Grand Prix, it appeared the Scuderia fell behind its rival after Mercedes took the championship lead at the Canadian Grand Prix.
"I think each race is different to the others," Binotto said. "There were races at the start of the season where we were competitive and others where Mercedes has been competitive. So I don't think there is a clear trend in the competitiveness of the two teams."
Much talk has been made of the ongoing development race in F1, with world champion Nico Rosberg this week claiming that how much the two teams grow their cars right down to the final round in Abu Dhabi will be crucial. Binotto agreed with the German.
"Certainly the development is very important. That has to be done race by race," he said. "There are still many races to go, we are at just half of the season and I don't see any reasons why the trend needs to be for one (team) or the other."
