P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur has dismissed the notion that the team’s 2025 F1 season should be regarded as “a complete disaster” that needs “drastic changes”.
Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur does not consider the team’s 2025 Formula 1 season to be a disaster that requires drastic changes, despite their struggles in the Constructors’ Championship and lack of race wins. Ferrari slipped to fourth place after the Interlagos race weekend and then had a suboptimal performance in Las Vegas, falling behind both Mercedes and Red Bull.
Vasseur acknowledges the setbacks but believes it would be incorrect to label the season a catastrophe, citing the team’s previous strong position in the championship. He emphasizes the importance of continuous improvement and hard work, rather than drastic changes, as Ferrari aims to bounce back next season under new technical rules.
Vasseur also understands the frustrations expressed by drivers, including Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton, but stresses that the team’s goal is to keep pushing for better results and development. Despite the challenges faced in 2025, Vasseur remains focused on the team’s long-term success and is determined to overcome obstacles in the upcoming races.
