Vasseur raises questions over McLaren F1 recovery
Ferrari Team Principal Frederic Vasseur suggests that McLaren’s F1 recovery was already evident before their progress in Austria. Despite struggling at the beginning of the season and missing development targets, McLaren introduced a significant upgrade in Austria and has consistently performed well since then. They have achieved five podium finishes in the last seven races, including a double podium in Japan. McLaren continued to improve with another upgrade in Singapore. However, Vasseur believes that the Austria upgrade was not the sole turning point for the team’s recovery. He acknowledges that McLaren’s car is better suited to certain tracks and emphasizes the importance of driveability and the impact of each improvement on the driver’s performance. Vasseur also recognizes that McLaren’s progress is still relatively small compared to Red Bull.
