At a press conference held the day before, the new head of the Ferrari team, Frederic Vasseur, declared full confidence in Carlos Sainz – at the start of the season, both drivers will have equal opportunities …
Frederic Wasser: “For a top team there can be no other goal than to win the championship. You can’t start the season thinking that second place suits you.
The goal is clear: to win. To do this, we have two great drivers who are up to the task, we have the ability to provide two identical cars, to provide equal support. There will be no first and second numbers in Ferrari, but if at some point in this situation it is necessary to intervene, then I will.
I have full confidence in Carlos Sainz. I tried several times to sign a contract with him, first in 2017 when I worked at Renault, then at Sauber. And when it didn’t work out, I told myself that if I want to work with him, I have to go to the team where he plays. We’ve always had a good relationship. I trust him. In recent years he has shown himself to be a potential winner. But it is very important for the team that both riders perform on an equal footing.
From our side, the approach will be absolutely the same, but they have to do their job and if I have to take action at some point, I will.
