Ferrari team boss Frederic Vasseur has overseen a difficult start to the calendar year, with the team failing to record a podium over the first three races and coming away from last weekend’s Australian Grand Prix empty-handed – Charles Leclerc DNF, while Carlos Sainz was handed a penalty after colliding with Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso.

What does he say?

Ahead of Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2023, Vasseur says there are no plans for a ‘B-spec’ car soon but has indicated Ferrari will be active on the development front.

“I think we will have a flow of updates that some will come… Not at Baku, because Baku we have the aero package for the level of downforce, [and] with the Sprint race, it’s not the easiest. 

But from Miami, Imola, not Monaco, but Barcelona – each race will have an update on the car.

We are sticking to the plan but have made some adjustments in balance and behaviour. It [the car] was much better in Melbourne, and we’ll continue in this direction.

“I don’t know if you can speak about it. It’s not a B-car if it’s what you want to say. We won’t come up with something completely different; we’ll continue to update this one and try to update massively.

You have to consider all the aspects of this,” he commented. “To do a new project during the season, start from scratch, and do a new car with the cost cap first, but also considering the restriction of the wind tunnel time.

 I don’t want to say it’s impossible but challenging.

“Also, on our side, we have the feeling – and I hope that we are right and moving in the right direction – that we still have much room for improvement on the car.

“As long as we are still able to develop the car, get points on the aero, to get a better balance, to get a better stability and so [on], I think it makes sense to push in this direction.”
