Ferrari, Frederic Vasseur goes on the attack

The words of Frederic Vasseur

After the difficulties encountered in free practice, Ferrari è managed to redeem itself greatly in qualifying for the Las Vegas GP, finishing second with Carlos Sainz and fourth with Charles Leclerc. At the microphones of "Sky Sport F1", the team principal of the Maranello-based stable Frederic Vasseur wanted to praise the performance of its two drivers, but at the same time charge them ahead of the race, where the Spaniard and the Monegasque will have a chance to make up ground in the constructors’ championship on McLaren, which struggled and not a little in qualifying.

"I don’t sign to have today’s result in the race, forò we have to push for more. A one-two è a bit optimistic, but we are in a good position. We know that this season we go a little bit stronger in the race than in qualifying. We struggled all weekend to find a good lap and at the end of Q3, at least with Carlos, we succeeded. Now, forò we have to complete the task tomorrow. Our race pace simulation è was positive, so we are confident" began Ferrari team principal at the microphones of "Sky Sport F1".

"As in the last races, we will have to be careful here to manage the tires well. On this track if you have speed; è it is possible to overtake and we have good top speed, so we are ready to attack in the race. I’m not surprised that Carlos finished ahead of Charles on a street circuit, because Sainz è Sainz è was better at getting the tires up to temperature on the preparation lap. Both, however, did a great job and Leclerc, despite the difficulties he had today, will still have a chance to come back in the race" added Frederic Vasseur.

With three races to go McLaren leads the constructors’ championship with 593 points with a 36-point lead over Ferrari.
