Vasseur in Austria: “We are encouraged, but there is still a lot of work to do”

From Barcelona to Spielberg Two weeks after Lewis Hamilton’s first, exciting success at the wheel of Ferrari, it’s time for the Prancing Horse to get back to work immediately and roll up its sleeves. The new challenge, now, is represented by the Austrian Grand Prix, on that Spielberg circuit where the Red team achieved its sixth and final victory in 2022 with Charles Leclerc, eager to make up for it after the mistake in the Sprint and the retirement from the race in Barcelona due to mechanical problems. From Hamilton’s success to Leclerc’s crisis Two drivers who therefore come from two completely different moments, but the first who did not want to dwell on what happened in Spain, for better or for worse, is Team Principal Fred Vasseur. For the French engineer, what matters is not primarily not to lose concentration, continuing with a job that can bring Ferrari even further into the fight with its rivals for the leadership of the Drivers’ and Constructors’ championship. Fred Vasseur: “We arrive in Austria encouraged by the positive signs shown in the last races, even if we are aware that there is still a lot of work to do and that we must continue to focus on ourselves. As we have always done since the beginning of the season, we will approach this weekend with the same method and the same mentality, trying to put together a linear weekend in every aspect, from execution on the track to the strategic choices to be made on the pit wall. We know that each weekend represents a story in itself. This is why we will continue to tackle one race at a time, with humility, with the aim of obtaining the maximum”.
