ROME, JUN 26 – A change of pace, both in qualifying and in the race, in Maranello and on the track. This is what Frederic Vasseur asks of the Ferrari team in view of the Austrian GP, scheduled for next weekend at the Red Bull Ring. In statements released by the team in view of the event, the team principal invites “the team”, including the drivers, to take a step to ensure that they do not leave any opportunities on the road, both when it comes to the flying lap in qualifying, a key moment with such fierce and close rivals, both in terms of the race: in Austria I want to see a change of pace.” “The upgrades introduced in the last match worked as expected – underlines the French manager -, but we have seen how our rivals are not sitting idle and how, at the moment, there are four teams in the space of less than three tenths. In Austria, a track that takes just over a minute to cover, these gaps will become even narrower – he recalls. We have to focus a lot on ourselves because every detail will make the difference and the preparation work done in Maranello will also be fundamental given that with the return of the Sprint format we will only have one free practice session before qualifying.”
