Reacting to the speculation, new Ferrari team principal Vasseur told : “It's inevita𝓀ble.

"I find it diffic🔯ult to understand why the team becomes a target after only one race," he said.
"As far as the correlation betwe﷽en the simulation and the🎉 track is concerned, we are in line.
"That's why I asked everyone to stay focused on performance and find 🍨solutions to rel💦iability issues, because the championship is long.
"Just because you don't win t🧸he first one doesn't mean you're offside. Bahrain was bad in some ways, and good in others!"
