He stated, “I will never give up on this one because for us to fix it is the best way to understand and avoid mistakes. We are developing the car in this direction to achieve consistency and make it easier to drive. Step by step, we are heading in the right direction.”
Despite a disappointing qualifying session in Montreal, Leclerc and teammate Carlos Sainz showed resilience, finishing fourth and fifth respectively. Vasseur found encouragement in Ferrari’s performance compared to Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso, who finished second, less than 10 seconds behind race winner Max Verstappen.
Vasseur concluded, “In the last stint, we were on the same tires as Alonso, with almost the same number of laps. The gap was plus or minus one second over 30 laps. While some may argue that Verstappen was not flat out, I don’t believe that was the case. Compared to a few weeks ago, we finished just 10 seconds behind Alonso, which was almost the same gap we had at the end of Lap 1.”
