Ferrari believe they have eliminated ‘more than 50%’ of deficit to Red BullFred Vasseur believes Ferrari have eradicated 50, maybe even 60, percent of Red Bull’s advantage since the beginning of this season.Ferrari not only achieved their first pole position of this season at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, ending Red Bull’s run of P1s in qualifying, they also bagged their first podium of this season in a grand prix.
“It’s a long way to go and we have still 19 races,” he told Channel 4. “If you consider where we were in Jeddah and where we are today I think we did more than 50 percent of the gap.”But, he admits, “the next 50 percent it’s not the easiest one. We know we have to improve and we know where we have to improve.
“I don’t know if it’s 50 or 60”, Vasseur added of the narrowing of the deficit, nor will he explain what’s behind it. “For sure, we were expecting to be in better shape at the beginning,” the Frenchman conceded, “and I don’t want to bulls**t you, but what I’m very pleased about is the reaction of the team.
“And I’m more than pleased with this kind of reaction, although for sure, I would love to be in better shape.
