The team principal of Ferrari’s Formula 1 team, Fred Vasseur, has made it clear that he does not want to engage in speculation about the Scuderia’s chances in the championship. Following an unexpected victory at the Spanish Grand Prix, the focus now shifts to the next challenge: the Spa Grand Prix.
Last week, driver Lewis Hamilton achieved his first victory with Ferrari, and his teammate, Charles Leclerc, has also returned to winning after overcoming a phase of disappointing results. With two victories in the last three races, expectations have risen again, while the competition with Mercedes drivers Kimi Antonelli and George Russell has intensified in the championship.
Despite the recent success, Vasseur maintains a cautious approach. He recalls that the team faced difficulties during the Austria Grand Prix, which contrasts with their successes in Barcelona and Silverstone. “After Barcelona, I heard comments about Ferrari’s return to the championship, but that’s not the case. A good weekend does not define everything,” he said.
Vasseur’s words reflect his determination not to be carried away by emotions. He insists that every race is an opportunity to learn and improve. “We cannot expect to make a step of five or six tenths in one weekend. It’s about achieving small improvements in each session,” he adds.
With the Spa Grand Prix on the horizon, Vasseur is aware of the unique challenges the circuit presents, which will require teams to adapt their strong performances to changing conditions. Known for its low downforce but long straights, Spa will test Ferrari’s engine performance against Mercedes, which Vasseur believes still has a significant advantage.
The head of Ferrari concludes that the most important thing is to work consistently and not be swayed by a positive or negative result. His focus remains on the present and on the next big challenge: facing Spa with determination.
