Vasseur: "More aggressive" mentality the biggest Ferrari improvement in F1 2023
Vasseur, who joined Ferrari last winter, brought a more risk-oriented and aggressive approach to the team, which led to improvements in the second half of the 2023 season. Despite facing limitations with the SF-23 car, the team’s mentality shift resulted in more lap time gains than actual upgrades. Vasseur emphasized the importance of being ambitious and not fearing failures or incidents. In the competitive grid of 2023, even a few tenths can make a significant difference, and Ferrari narrowly missed out on second place in the constructors’ championship. Vasseur credits the team’s improved performance to their on-track operations rather than the development of the car itself.
