Vasseur’s words

The most important thing is to score points. The aim for Spa-Francorchamps was not to lose points to McLaren and Red Bull, and it will be the same in ZandvoortI am convinced that the next three or four races will be much better for us.“.

“We are pushing hard to bring something and we will do it as soon as possible. Fixing the rebound is a step forward in performance”, these are Vasseur’s words regarding Ferrari’s next updates.

“I think Spa is a great example for everyone: Mercedes was really struggling on Friday, but as soon as you fix something you can recover from P7 to P1. We are insisting that we have to pay attention to every single detail.“, he concluded. “It’s no longer like two years ago, when those who came fourth or seventh were one minute behind Verstappen: for example, in Hungary we finished in the same position as a year ago, but we are 20 seconds behind, no longer 65.“.
