Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur is nevertheless satisfied with Friday in Montreal. “Our two drivers were quite competitive in the Sprint Qualifying – the words of Frederic Vasseur – here the gaps between the teams are very small and today a few thousandths made the difference of a couple of positions. In the Sprint race we will try to score some points and, at the same time, make the most of the 23 laps to learn even more and use this information in the best possible way on Sunday in the Grand Prix”.
