New Ferrari F1 boss Frederic Vasseur rubbishes ‘joke’ rumours of 30bhp engine gain
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Reports from Italy during the winter break claimed Ferrari have found an extra 30 hor⛄sepower increase with their power unit compared to last season.
Speaking t🅠o media for the first time since replacing Mattia Binotto as Ferrari’s new team principal, Vasseur streꦏssed the Italian outfit’s off-season development had been focused on reliability.
“The numbers, I don’t know where the numbers ar🃏e coꦿming from, but it’s just a joke,” Vasseur said.
Vasseur added that early indications suggest Ferrari have addressed the reliability problems that plagued their☂ 2022 campaign.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc twice suffered engine failures when leading a race, while teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz lost ♕a second place finish in Austria when his power unit went up🃏 in flames.
“We made some steps but it is just about reliability,” he explained. “I think the performance of the engine was not an issue at all. The issue was the reliability, and the first ⛎target is to fix it.
“So far it looks OK,𓃲 but the reality on the track is a different asp🥂ect.
“I think there are a couple of issues that the team suffered🗹 and it is not just true for Ferrari, but in terms of reliability it is also coming from the track operation, bouncing and vibration. Everybody will have a much better picture in Bahrain.
“I think ꦰand I hope that it’s under control today, that they did what looks to be a good job over the last couple of months.”
One of Ferrari’s other major weaknessꦐes last season was strategy.
The Scuderia made several high-profile strategic blunders that cost Leclerc as he missed out on the world title to Red Bull’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen.
Vasseur has vowed to work on improving Ferrari’s decisi🌼on-making.&🌠nbsp;
"I am trying to understand exactly what happened on every single mistake last year and to try to know if it is a matter of decision, of organis𝓀ation, of communication,” he said.
"Very often on t🎐he pit wall the biggest issue is more the co🍨mmunication and the number of people involved than the individuals.
"If you put too many people discussing about the same things, when you have the outcome of the dis💫cussion the car will be on the next lap.
"You just need to ha﷽ve a clear fꦜlow of discussion and communication between the good people in the right position. It's a work in progress."
