Wasser: In 2022, Ferrari lost confidence

      The head of the Ferrari team, Frederic Wasser, said that when he came to the Scuderia, he saw a team that had lost confidence after an insulting defeat in 2022, but now he hopes for revenge...

      Frederic Wasser: "Ferrari started the 2022 car project six months earlier than the others and perceived the second place as a failure. It was a real tragedy. I didn't want the team to be led by fear, restoring self-belief was an absolute priority.

      Everything got better pretty quickly. I didn't have to start from scratch. I knew a lot of people at Ferrari, so I made contact easily.

      In fact, the 2022 season was great in terms of results, but the team saw it as a missed opportunity. At that time, Ferrari achieved an advantage that they could not take advantage of, and this was the cause of serious disappointment.

      Over the past six months, we have been working very hard on the SF-25, achieving significant improvements. But we'll have to wait until the real balance of power in Melbourne becomes clear. We want to fight for both titles because we know that we have two strong drivers who can win and have an incredibly positive attitude."
