After Charles Leclerc’s push in Monte Carlo, Ferrari takes on the role of those who want to watch what will happen in Montreal, letting others move the ball. Fred Vasseur, team principal of the Scuderia, is aware of the growth of the Maranello team, but still speaks of a gap to be closed by those who lead the two world rankings.
On the track dedicated to Gilles Villeneuve, the French manager does not want to make any proclamations, but prefers that the pressure remains on Red Bull and Max Verstappen, the favorites in Canada, despite being aware that the values, especially in qualifying, have also become very close with McLaren. The track was recently resurfaced, so the roughness of the surface that could be scary for the RB20 may have been smoothed out to the advantage of the world champion team…
“We leave for Canada on the wave of enthusiasm for Charles’ success in his home race in Monaco, as we did after Carlos’ victory in Australia. The whole team is excited and has prepared to the maximum for this event: the Montreal circuit is quite different from that of the Principality, there are still some slow corners, but generally there is much more speed, less need for aerodynamic load and more overtaking opportunities.”

Fred is convinced that the Maranello team has taken the right path to turn a season that didn’t start in the best way. The latest updates may not have given everything that the Cavallino technicians expected, but there was a leap in quality both in Imola and in Monte Carlo…
“However, I believe that our approach as a team must not change: we need to approach this weekend aware that we are moving in the right direction both from a technical point of view, both in terms of team harmony and in terms of decisions to be made. take on the track”.
“The work done so far has allowed us to further reduce the gap that separates us from those in command of the two world championship rankings. The values, especially in qualifying, between us, McLaren and Red Bull are extremely close and we know that every small detail can make the difference”.
