Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur will be feeling the pressure amid his team’s lacklustre start to the 2025 F1 season, it has been claimed.

That is the view of Sky Sports F1 pundit Bernie Collins, who has suggested that the168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Ferrari team principal will 𝔍be feeling the heat after a hugely dis𓆉appointing start to the new campaign.

After ending 2024 with 🐈the second-fastest car and narrowly missing out on the constructors’ world championship, hopes were high that Ferrari may emerge fro𒐪m the winter as McLaren’s nearest rivals and potentially challenge for world titles this year.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton’s blockbuster arrival from Mercedes only ramped up the ex♕citement surrounding Ferrari but the seven-time world champion has struggled to adapt so far.

Ferrari hav⛄e fallen 152 points back from reigning world champions McLaren after just six races this season and head into the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix - the first of two home 𓄧races for the Scuderia this year - facing scrutiny.

“You do feel it [the pressure]. When he’s driving in and out every night, it will be lined with 🤪Ferrari fans,” Collins said of the pressure surrounding Vasseur and Ferrari at Imola.

“He ꧃will do more marketing, more talking to guests, more sponsors. That brings more expectation. People like us asking him how he will excel.

“We know what it means for the fans here. A good result here will carry bad results elsewhere because they will remember tꩵhis.”

Ferrari once ag🔯ain appeared to be struggling for pace over one lap in Friday practice, with Hamilton ending FP2 only 11th fastest after being unhapp൩y with the feel of his brakes.

Vasseur downplays radio rebuke from Hamilton

Ferrari made headlines for the wrong reasons in Miami last time out and faced criticism for their hesitation surrounding a team orders call as 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc and Hamilton could only take seventh and eighth.

The team orders incident frustrated Hamilton who hit out at his team in a series of sassy and increasingly-agitated 🦩radio exchanges during the race.

Vasseur once again tried to do𒀰wnplay the situation ahead 🅘of this weekend’s grand prix.

“We spoke about it in Miami. It was clear,” he said. “He got upset. As long as we are able to have a discussio🔜n afte💖r.

“They [▨the drivers] are not happy sometimes with the result or the strategy or the balance of the car.”

Asked if Ferrari learned from the saga, Vasseur replied: “We don’t😼 have to learn something. I took a decision – I think it was a good one – and then we 🍨explained the decision to the drivers.

“We checked the end༒ and the chapter was closed. The chapter is still open for you,ﷺ but not for me.”

Vasseur also addressed suggestions Ferrari are facing increa🎶sed pressure given this weekend’s event takes place in front of their adoring Tifosi fans.

“We want to have the same approach this weekend as a🌸ny other one because the motivation is always the same,” Vasseur insisted.

“But we can also see – even from the garage or from the factory – the tifosi 𒆙;in front of us, and the fact that they are all mega motivated, committed on Formula 1 and the project. And they can be sure that we will push until the end to get the best, to do the best.

“We are all convinced of this. It’s not absolutely an issue. You can feel it from the factory the week before, you already have a lot of peopꦬle around the factory. It was like this all week. It was like this yesterday in the fan forum.

“Let’s take it as extra motivation and the positꦗive side of this.”
