Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur will be feeling the pressure amid his team’s lacklustre start to the 2025 F1 season, it has been claimed.

That is the view of Sky Sports F1 pundit Bernie Collins, who has suggested that the168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Ferrari team principal will be feeling the heat after a hugely d🦄isappointing start to the new campaign.

After ending 20ꦛ24 with the second-fastest car and narrowly missing out on the constructors’ worl🍸d championship, hopes were high that Ferrari may emerge from the winter as McLaren’s nearest rivals and potentially challenge for world titles this year.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’🍷s blockbuster arrival from Mercedes only ramped up the excitement surrounding Ferrari but the seven-time world champion has struggled to adapt so far.

Ferrari have fallen 152 points back from reigning world champions McLaren after just six races this seas༺on and head꧋ into the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix - the first of two home races for the Scuderia this year - facing scrutiny.

“You do feel it [the pressure]. When he’𝔉s driving in and out every night, it will be lined with Ferrari fans,” Collins said of the pressure 🍸surrounding Vasseur and Ferrari at Imola.

“He will do more marketing, more talking to guests, more🤪 sponsors. That brings more expectation. People like us asking him how he will excel.

“We know what it means for the fans here. A good result here will carry bad 🍒results elsewherꩲe because they will remember this.”

Ferrari once again appeared to be struggling for pace over one lap in Friday practice, wit🤡h Hamilton ending FP2 only 11th ꦐfastest after being unhappy with the feel of his brakes.

Vasseur downplays radio rebuke from Hamilton

Ferrari made headlines for the wrong reasons in Miami last time out and faced criticism for their hesitation surrounding a team orders call as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc and Hamilton could only take seventh and eighth.

The team🅠 orders incident frustrated Hamilton who hit out at his team in a🧜 series of sassy and increasingly-agitated radio exchanges during the race.

Vasseur once again tried to 𒁏downplay the situation ahead of this weekend’s grand prix.

“We🍸 spoke about it in Miami. It was clear,” he said. “He got upset. As long as we are able to have a discussion after.

“They [the drivers] are not happy sometimes with thꦏe resu🐷lt or the strategy or the balance of the car.”

A𒉰sked if Ferrari learned from the saga, Vasseur replied: “We don♐’t have to learn something. I took a decision – I think it was a good one – and then we explained the decision to the drivers.

“We checked the end and the chapt💟er was closed. The chapter is still o🍌pen for you, but not for me.”

Vasseur also addressed suggestions Ferrari are facing i🌟ncreased pressure given this weekend’s event takes pl💧ace in front of their adoring Tifosi fans.

“We want to have the same app🌼roach this weekend as any other one because the motivation is always the same,” Vasseur ꦍinsisted.

“But we can also see – even from the garage or from the factory – the tifosi in front of us, and the fact that they are all mega motivated, committed onꦗ Formula 1 and the project💟. And they can be sure that we will push until the end to get the best, to do the best.

“We are all convinced of this. It’s not absolutely an issue. You can feel it from the factory the week before, you already have a lot of people around tꦓhe factory. It was like this all week. It was like this yester꧃day in the fan forum.

“Let’s t🍃ake it as extra motivation and the positive side of this.”
