The team principal of Classic Ferrari for sale Frederic Vasseur he goes back to talking about Max Verstappen. In an interview given to Motorsport.com, the Frenchman retraced the long 2023 season marked by the Red Bull driver, winner of the world title with well 19 races taken home"No one should have any doubts about the 2023 season – said Vasseur –. Verstappen was exceptional. He was struggling with Perez at the beginning of the season, then he proved to be completely from another planet. He made no mistakes and, barring mechanical problems like in Jeddah, he didn't do anything wrong. The only inconvenience she had was in Las Vegas".
Ferrari, Vasseur on Verstappen: “He has never been in difficulty in 2023”
2023 was certainly a year in which Verstappen dominated from the first to the last race. Vasseur, as told by himself, does not doubt the talent and strength of the Dutch driver, as well as 3 times world champion, but has a strong desire to see him work under pressure, because even a champion like Verstappen in that circumstance could get into trouble"I think we're getting a little closer to him. I don't want to say that we are putting pressure on him – continued Vasseur – also because it's not true. No doubt he wasn't under pressure even in Abu Dhabi, but at least it was a little more so than events like Zandvoort or others."
“Singapore one of the few moments of pressure for him”
Verstappen, therefore, is not up for discussion, even if the desire to see how he behaves under pressure is there and is great: "There are no doubts - explains the Ferrari team principal – that Verstappen dominated the entire season. The point is that, like all of us, when he is under pressure he makes more mistakes and no one was able to put him under pressure, saving two or three events, like Singapore in which we won with Sainz”, concluded Vasseur.
