P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur has revealed that the team he inherited in late 2022 was devoid of confidence due to the “trauma” associated with previous F1 failures.
Frederic Vasseur took over from Mattia Binotto, who helmed Ferrari in a disappointing season with promising beginnings in 2023, eventually losing to Red Bull by 205 points after leading the standings initially. Vasseur recalls the traumatic unraveling of Ferrari’s title bid in 2023 and focused on restoring calm and confidence within the team for the 2024 season. Despite Ferrari’s improvements in 2024 under Vasseur’s leadership, they fell short by 14 points behind McLaren. Vasseur aims for Ferrari to be competitive in both championships in 2025 and has instilled a positive and risk-taking culture within the team. The team’s focus is on being fully prepared for the upcoming season in Melbourne and continuing their hard work towards success.
