Ferrari Struggles to Find Solutions for Inconsistent Racing Performance, Says Team Principal Vasseur

A “catastrophic” weekend, as he defined it Leclerc, and a car that doesn’t go, despite the update package introduced in Barcelona. There Ferrari he can’t figure out how to solve his problems. On the flying lap pretty well, in the race instead of the moments when she collapses and badly. And those make a tremendous difference. The team principal Vasseur he said many things after the race: “The global picture is the same. We are there in qualifying and we are not in the race. We are inconsistent on the same car between compounds and sometimes between the same compounds. In Barcelona we were aheadAston Martinbut that’s not enough. We have to work hard.”

Vasseur: “Car difficult to understand”. Alternate behaviors in the race
However, the Frenchman bitterly declared that Ferrari cannot solve the problems because it does not identify them. And he takes the performance of Leclerc’s car in Barcelona as an example: “It’s very difficult to understand and solve, because it’s not always the same problem – he said after the Barcelona race -. On Charles’ car, for example, with the first and the third stint with the same compound, the balance was out of place and the last one was excellent”. And also that of Sainz: “Carlos did a decent first and last stint, and in between he lost 15 or 20 seconds on competitors”.

Ferrari, work is underway to avoid the debacle in 2023
In short, Vasseur and all the technicians who work in Maranello and on the track cannot find the balance. Ferrari keeps looking for the solution, but can’t find it. Many solutions are needed. But he is groping in the dark. Time passes, the World Cup is already gone, but a solution must be found to at least avoid the total debacle in this 2023 championship.
