Q: Aldo Costa, to come straight to the point: how come the F60 isn’t competitive, at least not competitive enough to compete for the title?

Costa: ”There are four reasons. We didn’t have a double deck diffuser, which has posed problems to us and others, while there were three teams that gained an advantage from it, at least at the start of the championship.”

”Then there’s the fact that we, together with McLaren and BMW Sauber – with the many technical changes in place – didn’t devote enough time to the development of the new car. But it was a price we had to pay fighting for the championship till the last race.”
