Frederic Vasseur emphasized Ferrari’s need to improve race weekend execution, drawing inspiration from Mercedes to compete for Formula 1 wins.
Ferrari struggled in Canada, finishing as the fourth-quickest team, with missed opportunities and botched race execution marking the Scuderia’s weekend.
Charles Leclerc’s qualifying struggles and subsequent disagreement with the team over tyre strategies were pivotal moments in their underwhelming performance.
Despite Leclerc’s one-stop race strategy preference, Ferrari opted for a two-stopper, leading to frustration and a finish behind the frontrunners.
Vasseur acknowledged Ferrari’s mistakes in FP1, qualifying, and tire selection, highlighting the importance of perfect weekends in such a competitive field.
He noted Mercedes’ ability to bounce back and secure podium finishes after a challenging period, underscoring the significance of tire choices and preparation from the onset of the weekend.
Ultimately, Vasseur suggested that Ferrari could learn from their rivals’ approaches and strive for better performance by making strategic improvements in their race weekend execution.
