Ferrari, flop in the GP Australia storm: the analysis

“I don’t know if we did everything wrong in this weekend. We have to start from this base to grow. We could have done better in terms of strategy, but in retrospect it is easy to speak … When the rain arrived in the final, Verstappen made the best choice by returning to the pits to change the tires with a ride in advance,” says Vasseur.

“On the dry lap we were always slower than McLaren, in qualifying we could have been closer. In the race they influenced conditions and strategies, as step we have been closer to Mercedes,” he adds. “The picture is now not totally different from the beginning of the weekend. McLaren is a step forward to everyone, we are close to Red Bull and Mercedes. We showed a good step in the first part of the weekend, then they recorded race conditions and strategies”.
