Vasseur: ‘Conservative Ferrari scared’ to push 2023 limit to maximum
Ferrari was cautious during the Japanese Grand Prix due to a weakness in their car that has affected them throughout the season. They finished fourth and sixth in the race, with Carlos Sainz performing well on a different strategy. Sainz and team boss Frederic Vasseur both acknowledged that the team played it safe due to concerns about tire degradation. Ferrari focused on understanding their car at previous races in Zandvoort and Monza, which helped them end Red Bull’s winning streak in Singapore. Vasseur believes the team has made progress in managing their tires and they performed well in Suzuka, marking a clear improvement compared to the beginning of the season.
