Sernagiotto still believes in Ferrari at the Sakhir 6 Hours

SAKHIR (BAHRAIN)

A miracle is needed, but Cetilar does not intend to give up. Giorgio Sernagiotto may still become world champion among the Gte Ams together with Lacorte and Fuoco, but their Ferrari 488 evo Gte must win the last two races of the World Championship and hope that the # 83 Ferrari does not score more than 16 points. The mission is not an easy one, but the double trip to Bahrain will give the answers. The World Championship, thanks to the cancellation of the 6 Hours of Fuji for Covid, will end with two races in Bahrain: this weekend we will run the 6 Hours of Sakhir and the next the 8 Hours which will close the championship. The Ferraris do not start favorites and we have already seen this with yesterday’s tests: the FIA ​​has decided that the Prancing Horse cars will have to run the entire race with an 86-liter tank against Aston Martin’s 91 and Porsche’s 96. Furthermore, the Ferraris will have a less powerful engine from the start than that of Porsche and Aston, and as if that weren’t enough, Cetilar’s crew will have to race with 20 kilos ballast following their victory in Portimao and the fact that they still occupy the third world championship position. This explains the delay accumulated yesterday afternoon in the free flight session. If yesterday’s top positions were all occupied by Porsches and Astons, Serna and his teammates finished eighth in class almost 2 “from the first Porsche, six tenths from Aston # 33 second in the world championship standings but just 4 cents from those who leads the World Championship, Ferrari # 83. Qualifying today from 3.30 pm, race tomorrow from 10 am –
