Ferrari is in the mix to win the constructors’ championship – and Fred Vasseur has a rather unusual instruction for his team.
Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur advised against focusing on calculations and urged the team to concentrate on delivering performance as they battle McLaren in the constructors’ championship. Despite Ferrari being 24 points behind McLaren, the Woking team could secure their first title since 1998 by out-scoring Ferrari by 21 points at Lusail. The Qatar GP marks the last Sprint weekend of the year, emphasizing the importance of the work done by teams back at base with only one free practice session available. Vasseur stressed the need for flawless execution to maximize performance from the SF-24 car driven by Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, stating that now is not the time to dwell on points calculations. The team is prepared for the final push in the upcoming weekends, recognizing the high level of competition in recent Formula 1 races and aiming to give their best effort.
