Ferrari’s 2024 Formula 1 car is expected to be vastly different to this year’s challenger after Frederic Vasseur confirmed that almost all of the car’s components are new.
Ferrari’s Team Principal, Frederic Vasseur, has confirmed that they are making significant changes to 95% of the components in their 2024 Formula 1 car, which will be launched on February 13. This comes after a challenging season for Ferrari, where they slipped to third place in the Constructors’ Championship. Despite winning only one race, Vasseur believes he has done a better job in his first year at the helm of the squad and aims to build on the momentum of the last part of the season. The season started poorly for Ferrari, leading Vasseur to question the pre-season advice he had received. He also clarified that the perception of Ferrari overreacting to every event was wrong, as the team remained calm and cautious after a weak start. Moving forward, Ferrari is focused on improving their car, although Vasseur acknowledges that it’s always a matter of comparison with other teams’ progress. Both Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz have been heavily involved in the development of the new car, and they are pleased with the situation.
