New Ferrari F1 boss Frederic Vasseur rubbishes ‘joke’ rumours of 30bhp engine gain
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Reports from Italy during the winter break claimed ꦯFerr𒁏ari have found an extra 30 horsepower increase with their power unit compared to last season.
Speaking to media for the first time since replacing Mattia Binot𓆉to as Ferrari’s new team principal, Vasseur stressed the Italian outfit’s off-season development had been focused on🌃 reliability.
“The numbers,💟 I don’t know where the nu༺mbers are coming from, but it’s just a joke,” Vasseur said.
Vasseur ad♊ded that early indications suggest Ferrari have addressed the reliability problems that plagued their 2022 campaign.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc twice suffered engine failures when leading a race, while teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz los𓂃t a second place finish in Aus🌟tria when his power unit went up in flames.
“We made some steps but it is just about reliability,” he explained. “I think the performance of the engine was not an issue at 🧔all. The issue was the reliability, and the first target is to fix it.
“So far ൩it looks OK, but the reality on th🤡e track is a different aspect.
“I think there are a couple of issues that the team suffered and it is not just true for Ferrari, but in terms of reliability it is also co♒ming from the track operation, bou꧋ncing and vibration. Everybody will have a much better picture in Bahrain.
“I thi✨nk and I h♔ope that it’s under control today, that they did what looks to be a good job over the last couple of months.”
One of Ferrari’s other major weaknesses last season was strategy.&nb🧔sp;
The Scuderia made several high-profile strategic blunders that cost Leclerc as he missed out on the world title to Red Bull’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen.
Vasseur has vowed to work꧙ on improving Ferrari’s decision-making.
"I a✤m trying to unders🦄tand exactly what happened on every single mistake last year and to try to know if it is a matter of decision, of organisation, of communication,” he said.
"Very oft👍en on the pit wall the biggest issue is more the communication and the n🎀umber of people involved than the individuals.
"If you put too many people disꦛcussing about the same things, when you have the outcome of the discussion the car will be on the next lap.
"You just♋ need to have a cl🔯ear flow of discussion and communication between the good people in the right position. It's a work in progress."
