Fred Vasseur believed that Ferrari would have a strong performance against Max Verstappen and Red Bull in the upcoming race. After trailing behind their competitors in the first two races of the season, Ferrari secured victory in the previous race. This success seems to have narrowed the gap between them and the current world champions. However, Vasseur acknowledged that the race in Suzuka may not be as easy for the Italian team.
Vasseur expressed the team’s excitement after the victory in Albert Park. He believed that this win had motivated the entire team to seek more victories this year. However, he also acknowledged that the Suzuka circuit would bring challenges for both the cars and the drivers.
Despite the challenges, Vasseur had confidence in Ferrari’s performance in this race. However, he acknowledged that they would need to be flawless throughout the weekend to defeat their competitors. It was expected that Red Bull would bring significant upgrades to Japan, which could make the race tougher for Ferrari.
Weather has always played a role in the Japanese GP, and this season it may have an even greater impact as the race will be held in spring for the first time. Variable conditions could create opportunities for teams to capitalize on strategic decisions in the race.
However, Vasseur believed that Ferrari was well prepared for the challenge they would face in Suzuka. He emphasized that the team would make the right decisions to potentially defeat Max Verstappen for the second consecutive race.
Both Max Verstappen and Red Bull are looking to bounce back after a disappointing race in the previous race, where Verstappen was forced to retire. On the other hand, Ferrari is looking to build momentum with another win in the race. This sets the stage for an exciting race in Suzuka and for the rest of the season.
