“We Know Our Weaknesses, We Dare”: 4 Years After Charles Leclerc’s Iconic First, Frederic Vasseur Aims for Repeat Telecast

Many remember the win of Charles Leclerc at Monza in 2019 as one of the greatest drives. Keeping both the Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas at bay. However, for a driver, the first win always has a special place in their hearts. In Charles Leclerc’s case, his first win came at Spa Francorchamps in 2019. As we get closer to this weekend’s Belgium GP, Frederic Vasseur targets a re-run of Leclerc’s iconic win 4 years after his first one. How is Vasseur doing so?

Frederic Vasseur starts by explaining that Ferrari started its resurrection in Canada, where the team showed a super strong race pace. It’s been a positive trajectory since then, but one that is filled with mistakes and cautious approaches. The Ferrari TP advised how the team has two great drivers in the form of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, and they need to extract the maximum out of them. For that, the team needs to put itself in a sound position.

With the Belgium GP on the horizon, Frederic Vasseur made a bold statement suggesting that from Belgium onwards, Ferrari will be daring and take the maximum out of the car and team’s potential. According to FormulaPassion.it, Frederic Vasseur said, “We know our weaknesses and our opposing teams are not watching. In Belgium and in the follow-up to the championship we have to get on the track with the maximum concentration and also be willing to dare.”[Translated Via Google]

Red Bull has been the class of the field but the gap behind has been very minimal. At last weekend’s Hungarian GP, the gaps during the qualifying were insane. As a result, Vasseur suggests the team needs to be vigilant to make the most out of the weekend.

“Take care of every detail”: Frederic Vasseur on extracting the maximum out of the Weekend at Spa Francorchamps 

The Gap between P1 and P10 at the Hungarian qualifying was less than 6 tenths of a second. Lewis Hamilton pipped Max Verstappen for pole by only 0.003 of a second. With the field being so competitive, Frederic Vasseur suggests that even a tenth or two could mean gaining or losing a couple of spots. Hence, the team needs to take care even of the finer details.

According to Formulapassion.it, Frederic Vasseur said, “The values behind Red Bull are incredibly close, with five teams fighting on the edge of the thousandths in all races: for our part we have to take care of every detail of the weekend – from Friday’s free practice to the last round of Sunday – because a tenth can be worth one or two positions.” [Translated Via Google]
