A revolution is taking place at Ferrari. Frederic himself admitted it Vasseur in interview exclusive to Journal of Sport, in which the Red team principal announced new Strength arriving"We have taken about 25 people, but we are looking for more. None are already working at the Scuderia”. Message received loud and clear. Maranello needs to breathe new air to try to make a change from a season full of ups and downs. The goal, at least for 2023, is to become the second force in the builders, but many of the updates that will be brought to the track could have a significant impact on the car for 2024.
Leclerc analyzes Vasseur's work: "He is bringing the right mentality"
Next year will be Frederic Vasseur's first in every sense. The former Alfa Romeo team principal arrived in Maranello in January, when the SF-23 was already ready. 2023 for the Frenchman can undoubtedly be defined as his year of adaptation to Ferrari, as also admitted by Charles Leclerc who, when asked about the work carried out so far by Vasseur, replied as follows: "He is adapting very well. I mean, Ferrari is obviously different than being in Alfa Romeo: there are a lot more people involved and you have more pressure, but Fred immediately understood the areas we needed to work on and, yes, you can see the difference in the way it is working".
“It will take time”
Vasseur's idea is to bring a new mentality to Maranello, as explained by Leclerc, even if for that it will take quite some time"I know Fred will work very well, because – continued the Monegasque – we worked together in the junior categories and in Alfa Romeo and I can say that he is very good at slowly bring these new mindests, which I believe, even if it will take time, they will make a difference in the medium to long term. After all, it is also his first season and for this reason we need to give him time before we see changes on the track and beyond".
