Vasseur ‘not scared’ of Canada repeats after Ferrari struggle

Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur will not shy away from failure, saying he is “not scared” of experiencing weekends similar to the Canadian Grand Prix in the future.

Coming off the back of the Scuderia’s strongest weekend of the season, there was reason to believe it would be another good weekend for the Italian team in Montreal. However, what transpired was anything but that.

 

Buoyed by pole position and the one-three finish in Monte Carlo, many had expected Ferrari to be in the thick of the fight with Red Bull and McLaren at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, but the SF-24 lacked pace and both Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz struggled to get on top of the car.

Despite the difficult weekend, Vasseur was adamant it would not change the team’s approach moving forward, nor would he be “scared” of repeat performances.

“You know that sometimes the feeling [is] that everything is going wrong and everything is going against you, but that won’t change the approach,” he told media including RacingNews365.

“We are working as a team with the drivers, that [is] in the good and the bad moments, and we will keep the same approach for next weekend. We continue to work together but I’m not scared of this kind of weekend but like it is and it’s racing.”
