Jaime Alguersuari believes that the difference between the tires this year is so great that HRT could be faster than Ferrari on many occasions. Speaking to reporters in Barcelona he said: “You could see Hispania running faster than Ferrari if they are on new tyres and Ferrari were on worn tyres. You could see Hispania overtake Ferrari.”
The driver of Toro Rosso explained on how the new tyres required from drivers to change their style: “You use more of an endurance style rather than sprint races style.
“The rear tyres are very important. They degrade quicker than the other . When you are driving you have to be very careful. Degradation on all tires was massive. “Getting the right strategy can be good for small teams by risking an aggressive strategy.”
“I don’t think I will be doing any tomorrow and I am bit worried about going to Melbourne without testing the soft tyres on light fuel loads but I have to trust our team on this.”
He said that he is expecting to be in the hunt for points in every race this year and the team’s main competition will be “Force India and Sauber.”
He added: “I think we are right behind Williams. “The car has more potential than last year. Buemi thinks the car is good also.
“Obviously it’s going to be a different year and I don’t say it’s going to be easy because we have a good car. I think it’s going to be very difficult because if we are faster, we need to score some points in every race to be ahead of our rivals.
“I think it will be difficult for everyone with the new tyres, more stops will be needed probably, we will see.”
