Vasseur: Ferrari F1 team mustn’t think Red Bull has a “magic bullet” to replicate
In the 2023 season, Ferrari finished third in the world championship, with Red Bull winning most of the races. Ferrari’s team principal, Frederic Vasseur, emphasizes the need for improvement in all aspects of the team’s performance rather than focusing on one major gain. He believes that Red Bull doesn’t have a “magic bullet” advantage and that Ferrari needs to work on producing parts quicker and improving reliability. Vasseur acknowledges that the team dropped points due to various reasons such as reliability issues, disqualification, and impeding in qualifying. He highlights the importance of improving aerodynamics, engines, and every other aspect of the car. Vasseur is pleased with the team’s improvement in the latter part of the season, which came from a better understanding and setup of the car, rather than frequent updates. This gives Ferrari a good foundation for development in the next season.
