Fred Vasseur believed that Ferrari would have a strong performance against Max Verstappen and Red Bull in the next race. After trailing behind their competitors in the first two races of the season, Ferrari secured the victory in the previous race. This success seems to have narrowed the gap between them and the current world champions. However, Vasseur acknowledged that the race in Suzuka may not be as easy for the Italian team.
Vasseur expressed the team’s excitement after the victory in Albert Park. He believed that this win had motivated the entire team to seek more victories this year. However, he also recognized that the Suzuka circuit would bring challenges for both the cars and the drivers.
Despite the challenges, Vasseur was confident in Ferrari’s performance in this race. However, he acknowledged that they would need to be flawless throughout the weekend to defeat their competitors. It was expected that Red Bull would bring significant updates to Japan, which could make the race tougher for Ferrari.
Weather has always played a role in the Japanese GP, and this season it may have an even greater impact, as the race will be held in spring for the first time. Variable conditions could create opportunities for teams to take advantage of strategic decisions in the race.
Nevertheless, Vasseur believed that Ferrari was well prepared for the challenge they would face in Suzuka. He emphasized that the team would make the right decisions to potentially defeat Max Verstappen for the second consecutive race.
Tanto Max Verstappen como Red Bull buscan recuperarse después de una carrera decepcionante en la anterior, donde Verstappen se vio obligado a retirarse. Por otro lado, Ferrari busca construir impulso con otra victoria en la carrera. Esto prepara el escenario para una emocionante carrera en Suzuka y para el resto de la temporada.
