Ferrari no longer feels "useless" in F1 fight against Red Bull
Ferrari has emerged as Red Bull’s main challenger this season but has not yet been able to beat Max Verstappen for pole position or wins at the first two races. Team principal Fred Vasseur believes that unlocking more performance to race competitively with Red Bull is possible. Unlike last year, Ferrari now has a decent chance to apply upgrades that can make a difference in their performance. Vasseur acknowledges that Red Bull is still ahead by a few tenths in qualifying and race pace but feels optimistic that Ferrari can put pressure on them. Ferrari’s upgrade plan and the car’s drivability improvements provide a solid foundation for further development. The team is focusing on overall performance improvements in various areas, especially aerodynamics.
