Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz They have a new boss at Ferrari. Is about Frederic Vasseurwhich arrives to replace Mattia Binotto. And he has already given his two pilots homework, noting that he expects “a team effort”.
Speaking to ‘Racecar Engineering’, he spoke of the importance of all working together: “The weight of teamwork is much more important than the weight of individuals today, much more than years ago.”
“The influence of a single person is less, but that does not mean that they are less critical because now they are more specialized than ever,” said the new head of the Maranello team.
Vasseur believes that the fight in the competition will be more even: “The fact that the engines are frozen means that Formula 1 is heading towards a fight for the Championship tighter and it’s working.”
“Teams were spread around five percent in qualifying performance in 2017 and 2018, and now most teams are within two percent,” he explains.
Regarding the structure of the teams, he bets on the mix between seniority and youth: “The teams have a new generation entering Formula 1 And that talent has a whole new point.”
“It is essential to have a management with a lot of experience to do this coordination in the most effective way”, has sentenced the new head of Ferrari, who has reminded Leclerc and Sainz of the importance of working as a team.
