Ahead of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Ferrari team boss Frédéric Vasseur reconfirmed Charles Leclerc’s 10-place penalty, but otherwise assessed the situation with moderate optimism…
Frederic Wasser: “In Bahrain we got the first idea about the strengths and weaknesses of our car and the directions for its further development.
If we compare the speed of the SF-23 in qualifying and the race, we can say that we need to improve the results on Sunday. Together we work on maximum controllability and reliability of our machine.
We have found the cause of the problem that caused Charles to stop in Sakhir, and at the upcoming Grand Prix we will use the third control electronics block on his car, which will lead to a penalty with the loss of ten places at the start.
The circuit in Saudi Arabia is very different from the circuit in Bahrain in terms of configuration and asphalt characteristics. The top speed is especially important here. I’m sure we’ll have a much better weekend!”
