Of the three races remaining at the end of this championship, Las Vegas it is most likely the most in favor of Ferrari. And they know this very well in Maranello, but above all they know it Frederic Vasseur, team principal of the Rossa. The growth experienced by the Scuderia from Monza onwards has been remarkable, thanks to targeted updates that have then worked on the track.
Vasseur Speaks Out Ahead of Las Vegas: “We Know We Have Potential”
In the first edition after 42 years in the “city of gambling”, the then SF-23 had performed very well. An event that confirmed the positive trend of the Italian car in the last part of the season, with pole e second position in the race for Charles Leclerc. With a stronger car than last year's, but with similar characteristics that saw it triumph in Monza or Mexico, Vasseur expects to repeat the good performance of that 2023 Las Vegas GP: “The desire of everyone within the team is undoubtedly to be protagonists here too. Compared to last year, today we know that we can improve on last year's result and do well again.. The important thing will be to take care of every single detail”.
“We know how to keep the constructors open. On the circuit…”
The Frenchman then went on to talk about the pitfalls of the American track. Few curves, many stretches of pure speed, night race. The tire temperature will be a fundamental parameter for the success of the weekend: “Racing at night the difficulty will be managing the low temperatures. Putting the tyres in the right window will be crucial both in qualifying, but especially in the race.. We know what to do for the Builders – continued Vasseur, with Ferrari arriving in Las Vegas with 36 points behind McLaren - the break has done good to all the staff, they are ready to start again for this final part of the season. We believe in our potential and we are aware that the fight for first place in the Constructors' Championship is still very open.".
