The scenario at Ferrari is extra essential than ever. Outcomes should not coming, and rivals have gotten more and more aggressive. This not solely widens the hole on the prime but in addition fuels chaos inside the crew. The drivers are powerless, unable to supply clear explanations to the media. We see this with Charles Leclerc, who in his seven years with Ferrari has at all times proven his feelings, and this season they’re extra evident than ever. Upset, annoyed, and desperate to be the very best, the Monegasque’s starvation is excessive. Whereas Lewis Hamilton could share the identical need, his previous achievements and age make this ambition extra measured and fewer fast when it comes to urgency.
Frustration, nevertheless, is clearly seen on either side. There is just one man whose ideas stay unclear: Fred Vasseur, crew principal of the Scuderia. Interviewed by SkySportF1 Italia after qualifying and races all through this season, the Frenchman, confronted with clearly underperforming outcomes, at all times factors to “causes” or “causes” that compromise on-track efficiency, and by no means takes a transparent stance on what is occurring.
Too calm, not “impolite” sufficient
After cautious evaluation of Fred Vasseur’s habits, just one clarification appears to emerge: the Frenchman desires to “defend” what occurs internally inside the crew. Because of this, he prefers to not expose what is really taking place. Nevertheless, if this interpretation is correct, Fred Vasseur must discover a steadiness between discretion and credibility. If he continues to undermine the latter by at all times offering excuses for the SF-25’s points, the result’s a complete lack of belief in his communicative capability and intelligence.
Maybe it might be higher to comply with the communication fashions of earlier Ferrari crew principals, resembling Maurizio Arrivabene, or undertake the strategy of Andrea Stella, the robust chief at McLaren, who is ready to acknowledge errors whereas concurrently defending and celebrating every thing associated to his crew.
