Ferrari were Red Bull’s closest challengers in 2022 and won several races but have endured a lacklustre start toꦿ 🦩the season.

Despite displaying promising ♚one-lap pace and being the only team other than Red Bull to score a pole position so far this year, Ferrari’s competitiveness has fallen away over a race distance. 

Mercedes debuted their heavily-revised W14 at last weekend’s Monaco Grand Prix but Ferrari team principal Vasseur i🉐nsistedꦦ the Italian outfit would not change their car concept mid-season. 

“As long as I’m convinc🥂ed we can improve the current car, it would be a mistake during the season to cha🥂nge completely the target,” Vasseur said. 

“First for timeframe, because if you decide today to bring a complete🎐ly different car during the season, I think it will bring us to Oct🤪ober, or something like this.

“It won’t be quicker and I’m not sure that it’s the best solution to imp♍rove even on♐ the mid-term view.

“We already have ne🍌xt year’s car in the windtunnel and we a𓆏re working on the next project.

“To try to intro✤duce a complete different car during the season, it’s quite critical a😼t this stage of the season.”

Vasseur added: “It's not just about potential and package and upgrades. We also have to operate the car in a b🍸etter window.

“The first target for us is not just to put downforce on🦋 the car. It is to have the car a bit more consistent.

“On top of the update, 𝓰we have big room for improvement with the current car in terms of performance.” 

Vasseur also suggested 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz ha💮ve been exaggerating their complaints✅ about the SF-23 being tricky-to-drive. 

“You have always got to stay calm. If the car was so difficult to drive, I can't imagine th𝓰at we could be 0.1s off Verstappen,” he said. 

“Sometimes you are jumping on the drivers five min🐟utes after qualifying.

“I can understand perfectly their frustrati✱on buౠt the comments that they are making half an hour after are a bit different.

“If we are sufferi🃏ng on something, it is consistency over the lap, over the race or from corner to corner. It's where we have to improve but mainly for the race. Ans we are working on it.

“I🐻 think we made a decent step forward but it's true that Miami, we were a bit inconsistent. 

“But we are performing on🌊 something. The first stin🐻t of Carlos [in Monaco] was a very good one.

“It means that we have to understand this 🐭and come back stronger. But it's not that we are out of the pace.”
