Ferrari Team Principal Frederic Vasseur believes Max Verstappen and Red Bull will be susceptible to making mistakes if their rivals
After winning 10 out of the last 11 rounds in 2022, Red Bull continued their dominance by winning all but one of the 22 rounds in the past season, securing the championship with multiple races to spare. Ferrari was expected to challenge Red Bull this season with their fast car but struggled with their SF-23 car. However, they showed a strong performance in Singapore and ended the season with three pole positions in the last five rounds. Max Verstappen won the last seven grand prix races, falling just three short of his previous record of ten in a row. Ferrari boss, Frederic Vasseur, acknowledged Verstappen’s exceptional season but believes that Ferrari is getting closer to challenging him. Vasseur admitted that Ferrari still lacks the competitiveness to consistently challenge Red Bull, but if they can provide a competitive car in 2024, he believes that mistakes will start to occur from the reigning champions under pressure.
