Ferrari F1 boss Fred Vasseur says added calmness and confid🔥ence has contributed to the t🧔eam’s recent strategy success.

F1’s most 🔯famous team had developed an unwanted bad reputation regarding their strategy decisions having had their operational calls ridiculed over severalౠ seasons. But that has changed under the leadership of Vasseur, who has instilled a calmness to Ferrari’s pit wall.

Ferrari successfully recovered from an underwhelming qualifying to claim a 3-4 finish behind the Red Bull duo at the Japanese Grand Prix, with168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Charles Leclerc rising from eighth on the grid by 🦄pulling off a🌃 bold one-stop strategy. 

When asked what has changed in Ferrari’s strategy department, V𝔍asseur told Sky Sports F1: "Part of this is the strategy, part of it is the tyre management beဣcause when you have the pace, it's easier to manage situations.

"This is coming with confidence. It's much more calm on the pit wall and it's the best way to take a good decision and everything is going🧔 in the same direction and it's a smooth environment.

"The situation is you have to put everything 🦂together and when you start to go in the right direction, everyone is pushing, everyone is more calm, everyone is more confident. It's the opposite when you have a negative spiral.

"We made a good step with💖 the car during the winter and even the last part of last year. Everybody is much more confident in the team and more calm. We are doing a good ꦅjob together.”

Ferrari tend to b🐽e Red Bull🍸’s nearest challengers in qualifying but unusually struggled for one-lap pace at Suzuka, something Vasseur acknowledged the team needs to improve.

“It was a very good Sunday for the team. We had a good recoveryꦜ after a bit of a difficult qualifying,” he said.

"We had a strong Sunday with a good♊ strategy and good tyre management. If we want to do  a better weekend, we have to improve the Saturday more.”

Leclerc echoed Vasseur’s call to improve Ferrari’s qualifying perfor🍌mance but praised the team’s gains with tyre management and strategy this year.

"On the weekend as a whole, there were plenty of things we could have done better. One thing is the way we prepare the tyres for 𓆉a qualifying lap," the Monegasque sa♈id.

"Yesterday I was ⛄happy with the lap bu🍌t I just didn't have enough grip available and this is mostly coming from the lap before in the right window.

"That put us in a difficult situation for t💮he rest of the weekend because starting P8, you can't do much more.

"We had amazing tyre management, amazing pace and an amazing strategy. It's just not enough when you s♏tart in P8."
