Vasseur: Ferrari F1 team mustn’t think Red Bull has a “magic bullet” to replicate
Ferrari finished the 2023 season in third place in the world championship, behind Red Bull who dominated the season. Team Principal Frederic Vasseur emphasized the need for improvement in every aspect of the team’s performance, rather than relying on one major breakthrough like Red Bull. He acknowledged that the team lost points due to various reasons such as reliability issues, disqualification, and impeding during qualifying. Vasseur stated that the team must work on improving aerodynamics, the engine, and all other areas. He highlighted the importance of every team member contributing to performance and pushing the limits even by a thousandth of a second. Vasseur also mentioned that the team’s performance improved towards the end of the season through a better understanding and setup of the car, rather than frequent updates. This gives them optimism for next year’s developments.
