Vasseur, dengan ramah, menyambut pertanyaan media di F1 GP Emilia-Romagna. Dia mengakui bahwa pengaturan teknik Ferrari tidak berbeda dari tiga tahun terakhir, meskipun telah terjadi beberapa kesalahan dengan mobil. Namun, Vasseur mengungkapkan keyakinan dalam kemampuan tim untuk memperbaiki diri di tempat yang diperlukan. Dia juga menyoroti pentingnya tanggung jawab dan akuntabilitas di dunia motorsport, terutama ketika sebuah mobil tidak memenuhi ekspektasi.
Lewis Hamilton’s win in the Sprint Race in China stands out in a season where Ferrari has fallen far behind. Currently ranking fourth in the constructor standings, they trail 152 points behind leader McLaren. Criticism surrounding the SF-25 and its performance on the track has overshadowed any positive moments for the team. When things go wrong on the track, scrutiny often falls on the individuals behind the project. Vasseur was asked at Imola whether he had full confidence in the technical staff working on the 2026 car. He clarified Loic Serra’s position as the technical director and highlighted the key decisions that had been made in developing the current car.
Upon Serra’s arrival at Maranello, Vasseur emphasized the inheritance of the foundation laid by his predecessor, Enrico Cardile. While Cardile left Ferrari in July, the SF-25 project neither belongs to Serra nor Cardile exclusively. Vasseur expressed confidence in the team’s ability to grow and adapt, especially in the face of challenging times in motorsport. Despite setbacks this year, Vasseur believes in the team’s motivation and mindset for improvement. Refusing to divert resources from the SF-25, Vasseur remains hopeful that there is still room for improvement and opportunities to unlock the car’s full potential.
