Ferrari crew boss Fred Vasseur has admitted that the Scuderia must “work on our execution” after disappointing Baku weekend with an eighth- and ninth-place end for Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc.
Regardless of a promising begin for Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc, Ferrari struggled for tempo all by means of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The Monegasque began on Pirelli’s medium tyres and pitted early to attempt to undercut some rivals.
Against this, Hamilton elected to begin on the hards, and with tyre degradation having been minimal, he managed to increase his opening stint. He may need waited for a security automotive interruption, which may have offered him with an inexpensive pit cease, but it surely didn’t materialize.
When the Briton pitted, he rejoined the observe in P9, displayed a really robust tempo on his contemporary tyres. He shortly closed in on Leclerc, who let him previous, however the seven-time world champion was unable to make any additional progress as he was caught behind the ‘DRS practice’ fashioned by Liam Lawson, Yuki Tsunoda and Lando Norris.
Reflecting on Ferrari’s weekend on the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, crew boss Fred Vasseur famous: “We can’t be glad with eighth and ninth. We began behind Norris and we completed behind him, which is the truth of this observe.
“We had a problem with Charles’ engine which we are going to now examine and, even when it was marginal, it was sufficient to forestall him from having the ability to overtake in a straight line, which explains why we had been caught behind Lawson.
“The primary remorse is for yesterday, as a result of we had the tempo to do a significantly better job in qualifying and that’s the place the weekend received away from us.
“It’s encouraging that the tempo was there, however irritating that we didn’t capitalise on it as a result of you may have two elements of the job: one is pure efficiency and the opposite is your execution.”
The Frenchman harassed that he may uncover some indicators of enchancment in comparison with earlier races by way of outright tempo, however he admitted that the Italian crew made some errors over the weekend which held it again from achievning extra at Baku.
“When it comes to efficiency we made a step ahead after Spa, however to be P10 and P12 yesterday was not what we anticipated. Now we have to perceive what we may have carried out higher, as a result of we made some mistake, some poor selections. I do know Charles is accepting the accountability for qualifying, however we have to work on our execution to come back again stronger.”
