Frederic Vasseur: I have no worries or regrets

Frederic Wasser wonders why the Ferrari team, which he recently led, has so many questions already after the first race of the season is over.

In Bahrain, only Carlos Sainz, who took 4th place, reached the finish line and Charles Leclerc retired on lap 39 due to technical problems. But Vasseur isn’t too concerned about these issues or the recent firing of David Sanchez, now a former head of aerodynamics.

“I think personnel changes are inevitable. There are people who were very close to Mattia Binotto – that’s why they chose to leave the team, – he said in an interview with the French edition of Auto Hedbo. “But I have no worries or regrets. It seems to me that there are other people who are concerned about their future.

But personally I have no problems. But there is a clear idea of ​​​​what my project will be, and I intend to implement it. I’m in daily contact with John Elkann and Benedetto Vigna, so I know what they expect from me.

By the way, the Bahrain Grand Prix was not successful in some ways, but in others it gave us a positive experience. It is difficult for me to understand why the team became a target of criticism after the first race. Comparison of the results of aerodynamic studies and the information obtained on the track convinces us that we are on the right track.

I asked everyone to stay as focused as possible and focus on increasing the speed of the car, as well as finding solutions that would solve the reliability problem. The championship is long and there are many races to come.”
