Home » Luigi Mazzola questions Fred Vasseur’s leadership and Ferrari’s future: “The SF-25 lacks potential”

Luigi Mazzola questions Fred Vasseur’s leadership and Ferrari’s future: “The SF-25 lacks potential”. Former Ferrari engineer Luigi Mazzola criticizes team principal Fred Vasseur's approach.

The former Ferrari engineer, Luigi Mazzola, commented on the Miami Grand Prix during the Sky Race Anatomy show.

Luigi Mazzola’s Words
These are his statements regarding Ferrari’s performance: “We can say that the motto has changed a bit. Before, there was Mattia Binotto who ‘needed to understand,’ now there is Fred Vasseur who ‘needs to find.’

“They are searching for this so-called potential, but they can’t find it. Let’s be clear: they can’t find it because it doesn’t exist. Both drivers are convinced of this, and the performances speak for themselves… I have another doubt: every time Fred Vasseur is asked about updates, whether for Imola or Barcelona, he downplays them.” – the former Ferrari engineer pointed out – “I have this feeling, and I really hope I’m wrong, that the developments coming in are really minimal [in terms of improving the competitiveness of the SF-25, editor’s note]. This would explain why he [Fred Vasseur, editor’s note] shifts the focus onto potential, but it is inconsistent with what the drivers are saying.” – he added.

“It seems like quite a disastrous situation for him [the team principal, editor’s note], in this sense, if he continues to go on about this,” concluded Luigi Mazzola after the Miami Grand Prix weekend.

    Mr Mazzola as an ex Ferrari engineer he understands the Ferrari stable. He might be on the right track here, when he mentions: Vassuer is searching for potential that doesn’t exist. Because if you build a car a start of the season, you have 3 days of testing, 2 weeks after that the first grand prix takes place, it gives teams that buffer to collect data take it back to factory and sort any minor issues out. You would give yourself at least 3 Grand Prix to fine tune the car.

    We already nearly 5 GP’s in and our beloved. Red Car is already trailing Mclaren by 151 constructors points.

    Some how the F1 team should take their notebooks and learn from the WEC team, because for 2 years the built a consistent winning race car.

    Mazzola in not so many words said could be be on to something., Vassuer has been 3 years at Ferrari, his first year was given, the second year, the ended 2nd in constructors, to which the words of Elkann and Vigna echoed, second in the constructors is like being last. Binotto was fired for this.

    Is the Ferrari job to big to handle for Vassuer to handle???
