Ferrari Team Principal Fred Vasseur has appeared sceptical as to whether the team has improved on one of the key weaknesses holding back its progress during this F1 season.
Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur expressed skepticism regarding the team’s progress on addressing its key weaknesses in the current Formula 1 season. The SF-25, initially touted as a strong contender after McLaren, has disappointed, particularly due to issues with its pullrod rear suspension impacting tyre management. Despite sporadic moments of improvement, Ferrari struggled consistently from the season’s onset in Australia. However, there was a notable upturn at Monaco, with Charles Leclerc securing second place in qualifying and the race. Vasseur cautiously noted these recent gains, emphasizing humility and vigilance in the upcoming Canadian Grand Prix, as the challenges posed by the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve differ significantly from recent races, warranting a fresh approach to tire management. Ultimately, he stressed the team’s continued dedication to enhancing performance through tire strategy in the highly competitive context of Formula 1 racing.
