Frederic Vasseur’s contrasting approach to Mattia Binotto at Ferrari: "We can’t bulls*** ourselves"

Ferrari finished sixth and seventh in Sunday’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz c🎶lassifying over 35 seconds behind race winner Sergio Perez.
Many tipped Ferrari to fare better in Saudi Arabia than Bahrain due to tyre degradation being less of a factor plus the SF-23 is m𒈔ore efficient in a straight-line compared to its predecessor.
Like Mercedes, Ferrari have a lot of work to do if they are to get anywhere near Red Bull in F1 2023.
Speaking after꧅ the race, Vasseur was asked what the ⛦first thing he would tell his team after Jeddah.
“To not bulls*** ourselves,” he replied. “The most important thing in this kind of situation is to know where we are going well and what 💛we are doing wrong. But we cannot bulls*** ourselves.
“We have to change. We have to understand where we are wrong, and 𓂃we have to push. It’s not [good enough] to speak, we will not be faster like this.
“For me the picture is quite clear. The potential of the car is🍎 good, but it’s not enough compared to ൲Red Bull, because we are not able to extract the maximum from the car every time.”

Ev꧅en though tyre wear wasn’t an issue in Jeddah, Vasseur feels it’s still an i✨ssue - how they manage the different compounds.
“The first sti💮nt went pretty well 💮and Charles had a good comeback, but he was with the soft [tyre] and nobody knows about the different compound," he added.
“Carlos was in a decent pace on the first stint with the medium, compared to the others, but we lost completely the ground wi🎐th the hard [tyre].
“It’s where we have to understand th﷽at the main issue is. If we have some improvement ൲to do, it’s clearly on the management of the different compounds.”
