Then, of course, we know that we have to improve our potential because for now, it’s just not good enough. But we are on it. And that doesn’t demotivate us. If anything, it motivates us even more to come back to a good level of performance and to see again the winning trophy. So yeah, there’s a big motivation in the team, and I hope that this struggling moment will be the most short possible.

Every single day, we have to try and do a better job than yesterday. It’s even more true today in F1, with such small gaps between the teams and the cars. Every single detail is making a huge difference in terms of results. The average between us and the guys in front is something like three or four hundredths of a second.

Fred Vasseur has highlighted the need for small changes to be made and perfected to yield fruitful results. Vasseur has spoken previously about the need for the team to be aggressive but focused in their attempts on track.

Ferrari’s recent underperformance has seen them get surpassed by McLaren in the title standings. They will have to muster wins and podiums in hopes of being an active contender for the championship title this year.
