Ferrari must reverse the negative trend of this difficult start to the season. The hardest since the beginning of the hybrid era. Having ascertained by now that the SF-23 project needs to be reviewed in various areas, one can only react, adjust the shot with full-bodied updates to save at least last season's second place in the constructors' championship. But the road is long and while solutions are sought in the factory by observing the data on the track, curricula are read in the offices, the future of the Red Leclerc e Sainz, would like to see fighting for victory again.
A Ferrari to be refounded
The problems of SF-23 certainly do not arise now. If anything, they come to light. What is difficult to establish beyond the actual competitiveness of the car is its paternity, the fact that it was born in a coming and going of people, and regulatory changes. Yes, because the truth is that Ferrari, in addition to having to fix the structural problems of the SF-23, still has something to fix at the staff level with the revolution triggered by the farewell of binotto and the arrival of Vasseur. Because without reference figures in the technical department, a winning single-seater cannot be born, and the history of each team proves it, not just the Red one.
One of the recurring themes when it comes to technicians is the lack of external know-how. Ferrari often cultivates its very valid talents at home, but lacks the external vision that can make the leap in quality, take the team beyond a certain limit.
Vasseur wants to be a forerunner of the rebirth of the Ferrari, bringing prestigious names from abroad back to Ferrari. Names whose charm and the history of the Cavallino are not enough to convince them to say yes. In this sense, it is also necessary to put your face into it, to start researching, to know and to open up. With regard to this last point, the top management of Maranello, as reported by Leo Turrini on National newspaper, would be willing to open their doors by giving Vasseur full freedom to act.
Turrini: "Top management ok for research abroad"
"Know that the Red will campaign purchases on the market of prestigious technicians – warns Turrini, who continues in detail: “Fred Vasseur, the head of the racing department, the aforementioned country curate, obtained theok top management: will be able to search abroad those professionals who will have to integrate and strengthen the structure of Ferrari. Naturally the French manager could not talk about it in the meeting he had with us hacks. But he is already moving: behind that suburban praeton air, Vasseur drips goodness from all his claws! ”.
We have just begun to get to know Vasseur and his method which allows him to keep a low profile while still being incisive. So we'll just have to wait and see.
