"We have made progress," technical director Ross Brawn told the Ferrari website on Monday.
The team tested a new aerodynamic package last week which was reported to have produced an improvement in performance. Brawn said tyre supplier Bridgestone had also made some changes that would benefit the team.
"Bridgestone brought some interesting solutions for the coming races; nothing revolutionary but definitely a significant improvement," he said.
Williams have won three of the last four races and are now only three points behind Ferrari in the constructors' championship. Ferrari said they had covered 4,252 km last week in the last tests before an agreed ban to the end of August.
"We were able to see an improvement in the performance of the F2003-GA, as well as some interesting developments in terms of tyre performance," said team boss Jean Todt. "We can therefore prepare to tackle the race at Silverstone in reasonably optimistic mood, while not forgetting that our main rivals will be very competitive."
