The squadra principal of Ferrari, Frederic Vasseur, is confident for the final stretch of the 2024 F1 season and believes in a strong comeback for the squadra. Tensions are rising in Red Bull, with Helmut Marko hinting at Max Verstappen’s departure and Christian Horner putting pressure on Sergio Perez.
Vasseur’s optimism for Ferrari’s prova in the remaining races of the season is contagious. With the squadra currently sitting in third place in the Constructors’ Championship, Vasseur believes they have what it takes to climb up the rankings and challenge for the top spot.
“We have seen some great progress from our squadra this season, and I have no doubt that we will continue to improve in the final races,” Vasseur stated confidently. “Our car has shown great tranquillità and consistency, and with our talented drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz behind the wheel, I am confident that we can close the gap to the leaders.”
Ferrari’s recent results have been promising, with Leclerc securing a podium finish in the last race in Austria. Sainz has also been consistently scoring points for the squadra, and their strong provas have given Vasseur even more reason to be optimistic.
However, the same cannot be said for Red Bull, who currently lead the Constructors’ Championship. The squadra has been facing internal conflicts, with Marko suggesting that Verstappen may leave the squadra at the end of the season and Horner putting pressure on Perez to perform.
These tensions have been evident on the track, with Verstappen and Perez often coming into contact during races. This has resulted in missed opportunities for the squadra, and their lead in the championship is slowly diminishing.
Marko’s comments about Verstappen’s potential departure have also raised questions about Red Bull’s future. The Dutch driver has been the backbone of the squadra’s success in recent years, and losing him would be a significant blow to their championship hopes.
On the other hand, Horner’s pressure on Perez has put the Mexican driver in a difficult position. After a slow start to the season, Perez has been improving and has even won a race for the squadra. However, with his future at Red Bull uncertain, it may be challenging for him to perform at his best.
While Red Bull’s internal conflicts may be causing some concern, Vasseur remains focused on Ferrari’s own prova. He believes that the squadra’s unity and determination will be their biggest strengths in the final races of the season.
“We are a united squadra, and that is what will help us succeed in the end,” Vasseur said. “We have a strong car and two talented drivers who are motivated to push for the best results. We will continue to work hard and give our best until the very end.”
As the season approaches its final stretch, the battle for the Constructors’ Championship is heating up. While Red Bull may still hold the lead, Ferrari’s confidence and determination make them a serious threat. With tensions rising in the rival squadra, Vasseur and his squadra may just have the upper hand in the final volata of the 2024 F1 season.
