Charles [Leclerc]<\/a> \u2013 it didn\u2019t change compared to last week. We have to stay calm with this. It\u2019s not that today racing is magic and last week it was not, but I think we are into the collaboration, we are improving.<\/p>\n\u201cWe know each other, at Ferrari, Lewis, we know each other a bit more each day, and it\u2019s all a matter of details at the end of the day. For, I think, one tenth in Q2, we had six or seven cars. It means that sometimes small details can make a huge difference in terms of position.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe saw [in the race] that track position is very important. As soon as you are not in clean air, you are struggling.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m taking it as a mega good result, mega positive result. It\u2019s a good reward for everybody, for Lewis, for the team in Maranello, for the team at the track, but it\u2019s not that the situation is completely different compared to last week.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cWhat is good is that we are going I think in the right direction. We had a good weekend in Canada, a good one in Monaco. This weekend the pace was good from the beginning.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were able to fight with the two cars for the pole position. I think it\u2019s a good step forward. But I think what is important is that this season, the championship will be based on the capacity of the team to develop, not on the picture of Barcelona.<\/p>\n
\u201cUsually, for the last 25 years, we were used to saying that a good car in Barcelona will dominate the season, but I think this season will be much more based on the capacity of all the teams to bring performance to the car.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think we brought something this weekend, the others didn\u2019t. We will probably bring something in the UK, I don\u2019t know. We will bring something soon. It will be all capacity and the capacity of the team to develop.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pressed further on Hamilton cutting Antonelli\u2019s lead, and whether Ferrari are in a position to \u201cgive him everything\u201d to fight for what would be an eighth Drivers\u2019 title, Vasseur pushed back once more.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not sure that I want to reply to this kind of question,\u201d he said. \u201cI had probably some comments two weeks ago that everything was a disaster, and now we are speaking about the World Championship. This is the worst approach that I could have.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe approach is to go to Austria exactly with the same approach that we had in Barcelona, and not to think about the championship or to project yourself with 25 more wins. I will never do it.\u201d<\/p>\n
He summed up: \u201cI won\u2019t change the approach for the next one. I will try to continue to chase details, to bring performance everywhere and to do small step by small step. Let\u2019s celebrate this one, let\u2019s enjoy, and we will be back next week in Austria with the same impressions.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fred Vasseur has explained how he will be trying to keep Ferrari \u201ccalm\u201d as the 2026 campaign develops,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":745426,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[441],"tags":[49,48,578,576,577,82],"class_list":["post-745425","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-formula-1","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-f1","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/745425","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=745425"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/745425\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/745426"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=745425"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=745425"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=745425"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
