Fred Vasseur to ask Jean Todt for lessons from Michael Schumacher’s prime to revitalise Ferrari
Todt was at the helm for the Scuderia when Schumacher sensationally won five F1 championships in a row between 2000 and 2004.
But Ferrari have not crowned a drivers’ champion since 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Kimi Raikkonen in 🐓2007, and Vasseur is the fifth team principal since Todt charged with restoring former glory.
“For sure, we have had contact,” Vasseur told Sky about his feꦿll𒀰ow Frenchman Todt.
“We will have tim💃e to discuss together. It is perhaps difficult to compare the two periods.
“But the experience of Jean is bigger. It is a huge o𓄧pportunity for me to discuss with him - to get his feeling, his feedback.”
Todt remains one of the closest confidantes to Schumacher who is now living🃏 away from the public limelight after a skiing accident in late-2013.
Vasseur will be replacing Mattia Binotto as team principal, who oversaw a series of strategy errors and performance issues that blighted 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc’s title attempt last season.
“T🔯he level of performance was there, last year,” Vasseur 🍷said.
“It is always difficult to have a clear picture from outsi🍬de the team because details can make a big diff𒉰erence.
“Issues with reliability in some circumstances? They 𝐆paid the price.
“My contributi𒀰on to the project is small. I am proud of what [the team] has done. The dynamic🥂 is positive with the tifosi, it is a huge push for the team.”
Vasseur has confirmed that, despite previously working with Leclerc who came closest to mounting a title challenge last season, he and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz will be treated with equal impo𝔉rtance by t🍌he team.
