Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur is optimistic about the team’s performance in the Miami Grand Prix, expecting an improvement compared to their recent struggles in China. Miami International Autodrome hosts the second consecutive sprint event of the season, adding an element of unpredictability as it’s the first sprint race in Miami.
