F1 Monaco, Vasseur: “Frustrated by Leclerc’s result, but overall a positive weekend”

From Montreal to Monte Carlo, the situation is reversed If in Montreal Fred Vasseur’s Ferrari returned home with an almost unexpected second and fourth place given the unfavorable characteristics of the Canadian track, in Monte Carlo the perspective is completely reversed. The track of the Monaco GP was in fact supposed to be the best opportunity – waiting for the ADUO – for the Cavallino to obtain a significant result and instead Lewis Hamilton’s encore on the place of honor this time has the flavor of defeat, especially if accompanied by the accident, with controversy regarding the braking system, which saw Charles Leclerc as the protagonist.

The Principality’s track, particularly narrow and narrow, is in fact known for masking deficits in terms of engine power and at the same time for enhancing the chassis and mechanical qualities of the cars, but in the end it is still and always Mercedes who come out on top with an Andrea Kimi Antonelli in a state of grace and able to inflict heavy gaps on everyone. Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur speaks. Team principal Fred Vasseur, who returned to the Ferrari wall after a Saturday spent in hospital for medical checks following a slight illness, however tries to find the positive aspects of a weekend that was still below expectations: “We must remain optimistic because, overall, this was another positive weekend for us. Lewis secured his second consecutive podium and I believe that today he achieved the best that our package could offer. In the last few races we have seen him gain greater confidence and feeling more comfortable in the car, which is encouraging and reflects the progress we are making as a team.” Vasseur, however, obviously does not hide his disappointment at Leclerc’s ‘zero’, which ended up against the wall on the restart after the Safety Car: “For Charles, obviously, it was a very frustrating result. We had brake problems all weekend and it was clear that something wasn’t working as it should have. We will analyze the situation carefully, we will understand exactly what happened and make sure to resolve the problem before Barcelona. Charles was in a good position and it is disappointing to lose those points, especially in his home race.” “We must remain focused on ourselves, continue to work hard and make the most of every opportunity. The mood within the team is positive, the direction is the right one and in a few days we will have another opportunity to continue moving forward”, concluded Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur.
