“Vasseur, What Are You Doing? “: Charles Leclerc and Co.’s Miseries Pinned on Frederic as F1’s Sleeping Giants Become Ferrari’s Latest Threat

For Frederic Vasseur, the goal of working as Ferrari‘s Team Principal was to turn the team around. And this had to be done by making better decisions than his predecessors. Ideally, he should not be judged based on the first half of his very first season. But improvements can be expected. However, there are none whatsoever. If anything, the performance has worsened, with Charles Leclerc having to deal with most of it. But another Team Principal who joined probably the worst team on the grid has made quicker changes than Vasseur has.

If you guessed the team to be Williams, you’re right. James Vowles joined Williams as the Team Principal 1 month after Vasseur joined Ferrari. But he still managed to propel the team out of the rut while Vasseur is not even able to hold Ferrari’s position, let alone progress. At the British GP, Alex Albon finished P8, with both Ferraris behind him. So what excuse does Ferrari have? None, says Peter Windsor while holding up Williams‘ performance in comparison.

In a YouTube video, Windsor said, “All credit to Alex Albon in the Williams. Brilliant drive. Ferrari to be beaten by… no offense at all but to be beaten by Williams around Silverstone. Well, they must be thinking, what are we doing? And you’ve got to think Freddy Vasseur, what are you doing? Look at the job James Vowles is doing at Williams. You can turn a team around, you can do it well and he’s doing it.”

Now, because of their incompetence, Ferrari has a new competitor in the form of Williams. The Maranello outfit had a poor result and Vasseur knew that and acknowledged their failure.

Frederic Vasseur Acknowledges Poor Decision-Making as Charles Leclerc Misses Out on Potential Podium

Charles Leclerc started P4 on the grid at Silverstone. The team called him in for the Hards in Lap 19 for a potential undercut on George Russell. When he came out of the pits, he was out of the points. But there was still hope until a safety car disrupted things. And instead of putting on the softs which did not have very high degradation, they chose the mediums. And there went his race.

The Monegasque finished P9 and his teammate, Carlos Sainz, P10. Commenting on the disappointing result, Vasseur said, “Given the package we had, I thought we could do a better job. We were too conservative with all the tire sets, we had set a target with Charles but it didn’t go well.”

How longer can Ferrari go on by just acknowledging mistakes and keep repeating them? The process has to stop somewhere. And it just looks like they are waiting to slip into the midfield and lower before serious changes are made.
