Ferrari F1 boss Fred Vasseur says added calmness and confidence has contributed to the t🐬eam’s recent strategy 🔴success.

F1’s most famous team had developed an unwanted bad reputation reg🍸arding their strategy decisions havi🍃ng had their operational calls ridiculed over several seasons. But that has changed under the leadership of Vasseur, who has instilled a calmness to Ferrari’s pit wall.

Ferrari successfully recovered from an underwhelming qualifying to claim a 3-4 finish behind the Red Bull duo at the Japanese Grand Prix, with168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Charles Leclerc rising fr🍃om eighth on the grid by pulling off a ꦛbold one-stop strategy. 

When asked what has changed in Ferrari’s strategy department, Vasseur told Sky Sports F1: "Part of this is the strategy, part of it is th𝔉e tyre management bec🐷ause when you have the pace, it's easier to manage situations.

"Th💧is is coming with confidence. It's much more calm on the pit wall and it's the best way to take a good decision and everything is going in the same direction aܫnd it's a smooth environment.

"The situation is you have to put everything together 🌟and when you start to go in the right direction, everyone is pushing, everyone is more calm, everyone is more confident. It's the opposite when you have a negative spiral.

"We made a good step with the car during the winter and even the last par🔜t 🌃of last year. Everybody is much more confident in the team and more calm. We are doing a good job together.”

Ferrari tend to be Red Bull’s nearest challengers in qualifying but unusually struggled for one-lap ღpace at Suzuka, something Vasseur acknowledged theജ team needs to improve.

“It was 🐷a very good Sunday for the team. We had a good recovery after a bit of a difficult qualif🎐ying,” he said.

"We had a strong Sunday with a good strategy an൲d good tyre management. If we want to do  a ꦫbetter weekend, we have to improve the Saturday more.”

Leclerc echoed Vasseur’s call to ▨improve Ferrari’s qualifying performa🍃nce but praised the team’s gains with tyre management and strategy this year.

"On the w⛦eekend as a whole, there were plenty of things we could have done bett🦹er. One thing is the way we prepare the tyres for a qualifying lap," the Monegasque said.

"Yesterday I was happy with the lap but I just didn't have enough grip available and this ♑is mostly coming from the lap before in the right window.

"That put us in a difficult situation for the rest of the weekend because starting P8ꦚ, you can't do much more.

"𝓡We had amazing tyre management, amazing pace and an amazing strategy. It's just not enough when you start in P8."
