The Ferrari Team Principal reflects on what has been a difficult year for the team, after showing promise during the 2022 season.
Ferrari Team Principal Frederic Vasseur acknowledged that the 2023 season would be challenging for the team from the moment of the first test. Despite high hopes and developments, reliability issues plagued the team, resulting in penalties and missed races for drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz due to fuel leak and hydraulic failure. While Ferrari performed well in some races, including a win by Sainz in Singapore, they fell short by just three points in the battle for second place in the Constructors’ Championship with Mercedes. Vasseur emphasized the importance of having a clear understanding of their goals and working on improvements. The question remains whether Ferrari can end their title drought and compete with Red Bull in 2024.
