Fred Vasseur has dismissed rivals’ worries over Ferrari’s innovation in his first big-time battle as team boss
The SF-23’s S-D🍬uct concept is the cause of Ferrari’s competitors requesting clarification from the FIA aboไut its legality, reported.
New team principal Vasseur has put rivals in their place, saying: “Well, as you may know, all the teams are in contact wi𓂃th the FIA.
“And we did exactly the same and there is no issue👍 at all.”
Vasseur, speaking on the first day of 2023 preseason testing in Bahဣrain, may look back on this as the first of many potential rows as the new teﷺam boss at a major team.
The S-Duct concept ♎on Ferrari’s new ♈car is to optimise airflow towards the rear of the car.
It is a꧅ compleꦓx design which other teams would unlikely to be able to replicate.
Vasseur, meanwhile, has been given an early reminder of the scrutiny that any upgrades at a team of Ferrari’s stature will 🦄come under.
