Fred Vasseur confirms Monza updates and wants “to give the tifosi something to cheer about”. The SF-24 cars of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz will have updates at Monza.

Scuderia Ferrari’s iconic home race, the Italian Grand Prix, is set to unfold this weekend at the historic Autodromo Nazionale di Monza, a circuit rich in history and tradition, with the exception of the 1980 race. Despite being over a century old, this year’s event will feature significant updates to the track. For the first time since its construction in 1922, the circuit has been fully resurfaced, and several kerbs have been modified. These changes are likely to push the cars even closer to their performance limits.

The grandstands, as always, will be awash in a sea of red, filled with passionate Scuderia Ferrari fans who will be eagerly watching from the start of Friday’s free practice sessions. Ferrari has a storied history at Monza, with 19 victories and over 70 podium finishes. The fervent supporters will undoubtedly be hoping to witness another triumph, dreaming of a Maranello driver standing atop the podium.

Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur warmly introduced the Italian Grand Prix at Monza and confirmed that the SF-24 cars of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz will have updates. Here are his comments ahead of the Italian Grand Prix:

“We arrive at Monza in good spirits, following our performance in the race at Zandvoort. It was a demonstration of how, in the current Formula 1, a perfect execution, putting everything together and making the most of one’s available package, can really make a difference. Monza is unique in many respects: the track is truly one of a kind, the only ultra high-speed circuit left on the calendar and this year it will present an additional challenge in that it has been entirely resurfaced, with changes also made to the kerbs at some corners. But what makes it really special for us is that we know we can count on the support of the tens of thousands of tifosi who will be cheering us on all the way and who, quite rightly, expect great results from us.” – the French manager pointed out.

“I will never forget my first Italian Grand Prix with Ferrari last year, the cries of delight when Carlos took pole on Saturday and then the celebrations under the podium on Sunday. The goal for me, the drivers and everyone in the Scuderia – the team at the track and the hundreds working back in Maranello – is to once again give the tifosi something to cheer about. With that in mind, our preparation has been scrupulous and we will be bringing some updates for the SF-24 that we hope will see us make another step forward in terms of performance. We know we can rely on the support of all our tifosi and we will put our heart and soul into it.” – Scuderia Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur concluded ahead of the Italian Grand Prix at the Monza circuit.
