Fred Vasseur spoke to the media after the Singapore Grand Prix, attempting to explain what happened during the race and why Ferrari delivered another underwhelming performance. The difficulties of the SF-25 have become increasingly apparent, and Ferrari is in urgent need of a turnaround to avoid a disastrous end to the season.Since the summer break, the Maranello team has only managed to collect 40 points, almost half of what the other three main rivals have scored in the same period. Surprisingly, Ferrari’s total is almost equal to that of Williams, with 40 points compared to 38 for the British team.

Here are Fred Vasseur’s words after the Singapore Grand Prix. “It was certainly a difficult day. The problem started after FP1. We struggled with execution and were unable to get the maximum out of the car. The issue also came from starting in the middle of the pack, which affected cooling.”

He then tried to highlight some positive aspects of the performance from the two Maranello cars driven by Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc. “The pace with Lewis was good, very good. Towards the end, we were only able to push for about 1% of the race and had to limit ourselves. But as he said, there was an execution issue.”

“We showed the potential of the car, but we were not able to put everything together over the weekend. We failed to follow the evolution of the track. The execution problem caused us considerable difficulties, and the result was exactly what everyone saw,” concluded the Ferrari team principal.
