After three F1 races this season, Ferrari has yet to score a single podium in 2023. But while the results leave much to be desired, the Italian marque remains upbeat about its chances writes mattkewF1 ✍️
However, some of their half-second deficit to polesitter Max Verstappen can be attributed to poor management from the pitwall. The Ferraris badly handled traffic on their preparation laps to allow tyre temperatures to drop and stymy their first sectors. A possible front-row start for one driver was lost, reckons Vasseur.
Once Sainz had calmed down after his punishment from Race Control, Vasseur reckoned he was similarly reassured: “He took also the positive of the weekend, considering that even if we didn't score points for different reasons, that we did a real step forward in terms of performance and we have still 20 races to go. We have to look about the future. He had a good reaction. He was with us for the simulator [last week] and with a good fighting spirit.
Instead, fresh parts will arrive for each of the Miami, Imola and Barcelona rounds. And these are being delivered ahead of time as Ferrari insists it has been quick to react to its tepid start. It has tweaked the development path to place an emphasis on resolving car balance and the update originally penned for Spain will now arrive in time for the first visit to Italy.
