Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur is adamant the Scuderia’s difficult Canadian GP will not lead to changes of approach, saying he is “not scared” of similar weekends in the future.
Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur remains unfazed by failure, declaring he is not intimidated by the possibility of repeating a challenging weekend akin to the Canadian Grand Prix. Despite a disappointing performance in Montreal following a strong showing in Monte Carlo, Ferrari struggled with pace and both drivers, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, faced difficulties handling the car at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. Vasseur affirmed that the team’s approach moving forward will remain unchanged, emphasizing the importance of unity during both successes and setbacks. Despite Leclerc and Sainz starting from P11 and P12 on the grid due to early elimination in qualifying, their race day woes continued, with Leclerc’s engine issues and a pit stop blunder ultimately leading to retirement, while Sainz’s race ended prematurely after a collision with Alex Albon. With Max Verstappen claiming victory for Red Bull, Ferrari now faces a 49-point gap in the constructors’ championship, but Vasseur maintained that the Canadian Grand Prix was not the team’s toughest weekend to date.
