JA reported that Ferrari have recruited a designer from Toyota and he's come up with a new, much improved diffuser
It was a positive start for Ferrari. There have been rumours about the aero figures being poor and a B spec car being prepared. But my sources suggest that what has happened is that they recruited a new head of aerodynamics from Toyota in December and he brought a solution for a radical new diffuser with a hole the size of a sheet of A3 paper! It’s worth a lot in extra downforce and so Ferrari may well be building an update package around it, possibly for the first race if they can build it in time.

So, the McLaren is already faster than 12 months ago, and Gary wasn't on the same fuel loads as Massa and Schumacher. I'm pretty confident tbh, don't know why, because it's all just a big gamble. But he said some intereseting things in the interview with AUTOSPORT.
