Ferrari Boss Vasseur Disputes Hamilton’s Criticism and Promises Improvement
In a fiery exchange of comments and contrasting perspectives, Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur challenges Lewis Hamilton’s scathing remarks about the SF-25 car’s performance during the Spanish Grand Prix practice sessions. Vasseur remains optimistic about Ferrari’s potential despite Hamilton’s blunt assessment.
After a promising start with both Ferrari cars in the top four during the opening practice, the team faced a setback in the second session, trailing half a second behind the leading McLaren. Hamilton, who struggled during Practice Two, described the car as “not drivable,” leading to a public disagreement with Vasseur’s evaluation.
Vasseur defends Ferrari’s performance, stating, “We had a very good pace this morning… We struggled a bit more in the afternoon.” Despite acknowledging room for improvement in the car’s balance, Vasseur remains confident in Ferrari’s capabilities moving forward.
Hamilton, on the other hand, expressed his frustration with the day, labeling it as “not fun.” The seven-time champion remains determined to overcome the challenges faced during practice and remains hopeful for a better outcome in the upcoming sessions.
Teammate Charles Leclerc strikes a more positive tone, noting that there is still untapped potential in the SF-25. Despite the challenges posed by the high-speed Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, Leclerc remains optimistic about Ferrari’s performance in the upcoming qualifying rounds.
As the tension between Ferrari and Hamilton escalates, all eyes are on the team’s ability to address the car’s handling issues and deliver a competitive performance in the Spanish Grand Prix. Will Ferrari rise to the occasion and prove Hamilton wrong? Stay tuned for more updates as the drama unfolds on the track.
