Ferrari is having a nightmare year, and despite that, boss Vasser has let out some questionable words. That’s what he said.
At home ferrari there’s a disappointment in the 100th season, born wrong and developed worse, with poor results that certainly don’t please the fans. ex-president Luca Cordero di Montezemolohas made candid statements about the situation in recent days.
In fact, the manager from Bologna said that today we are celebrating the third place, as it happened with the result obtained Charles Leclerc in Belgium, and that Drake would not have been proud of such an attitude. Unfortunately, however, this can no longer be done, and the situation is now clear.
Ferrari is no longer a myth of the past where all the drivers wanted to drive and the engineers wanted to work and design. The myth is now lost and it will take a lot of hard work to revive it, which at the moment seems far from the reality of the facts.
Ferrari, another promise from Frederic Wasser
IN ferrari my favorite sport now is making promises but never being able to keep them. Perhaps the worst impression this year was made by the managing director, i.e. Benedict Vignawhich, during a presentation on February 14, stated that it would be the fastest red car ever.
However, his words turned out to be a waste of time, since the SF-23, after winter tests, proved to be not up to par as a single-seat one. There Red Bull it’s light years, and Aston Martin AND Mercedesin the first part of the season were better, as were McLaren last month.
team leader Frederic Wasserin an interview given byAutosprint“, he made another promise, even if on closer inspection this admission leaves little hope. The new Ferrari boss was actually talking about an eight-tenths improvement that would occur between now and next year, largely in view of the current situation.
Here are his words:According to our development plans, the SF-23 will be about two tenths faster than it is today, and another two in October. In total, we will reach eight tenths of growth in 2024, we have a clear work plan. We can’t waste precious time thinking about our rivals, also because we don’t know how they work.“.
If the Reds were eight-tenths ahead by the start of next season, i.e. with a new single-seater, they would still be a long way from Red Bull, who already have this type of advantage, if not more than competition in terms of racing pace. Therefore Vasser sent an alarming message.
It feels like very little can be done for this technical cycle, which will culminate in late 2025 with the debut of new powertrains next year. Red Bull and Max Verstappen they will still dominate, and the glory of Cavallino is still a long time coming.
