The “restyling” at Ferrari continues, and the feeling is that we are only at the beginning. The team principal Frederic Vasseur he is starting to put his hand to the organization chart of the Maranello team in a concrete way, with the awareness that the coming season, 2024, will be the first real one under the directives of the French manager. In a nutshell, the former number one of Alfa Romeo Sauber knows perfectly well that starting from the upcoming championship will in turn be questioned.
Precisely for this reason the news has not been lacking, there is no shortage and there will be no shortage. Firstly, we witnessed the farewell of the now ex sporting director Laurent Makeies which will land in AlphaTauri, without forgetting the departures of the head of aerodynamics David in recent months Sanchez and many others. A team that is coming turned inside out like a sock with several announced additions which, however, will only come into action in the coming months after the classic “gardening” period imposed by the Federation.
The imperative for Frederic Vasseur is to make Ferrari a team more in step with the timesafter having given the sensation of having become somewhat gangrenous in positions which, as we have seen in recent years, have not led to any significant development. “Where are we? Far away, because when you do my job you shouldn’t think that there is a perfect structure. We always have to improve and change things. If you stay with the same structure two years in a row you are dead, because everyone else will improve. It means that I don’t have a clear framework that allows me to say that I have to do this, and that’s it, and that it will work. That would be stupid. In the next few weeks, in the next months, in the next few years, we will make some changes, because some topics are longer than others. But it is an evolution and a permanent improvement”.

The crux of the project will obviously be the car. In recent weeks, the team from Emilia has been doing everything to change the course already with the SF-23, after a totally unsuccessful start. The direction towards 2024 will be absolutely key. Another misstep would be completely unacceptable for a team that hasn’t celebrated a drivers’ title for the past 16 years.
“We are starting to have a much more precise idea of the situation and where we are weak and which ones are strong. I remain calm, also because as you can see everything changes rapidly from track to track. We know that the field is very compact and that for one or two things you can move from second to eleventh position. And it’s not the end of the season, we still have a lot to do. It was certainly positive to conclude the first part of the season with a podium. At least we will have the weeks off with a positive race in mind.”
