Wasser: We haven't been able to get the most out of the car yet.

      Frederic Vasseur is not inclined to exaggerate the speed boost that the new products presented at the previous stage in Bahrain can provide for Ferrari, although Charles Leclair mentioned that the upgraded version of the underbody should work even more efficiently on the Jeddah speedway than in Sahir. And he completed the first training session on the 3rd line of the protocol.

      Frederick Wasser: "That's true, but we're not saying we'll go a second faster. Moreover, the results of the first training session always depend on who used which engine modes.

      For example, we are well aware that conditions on the track will change significantly by the second practice session. And when the asphalt temperature drops by 10 degrees, it will be a different track and a completely different story.

      We, like all other teams, except for McLaren, because they are one step ahead of everyone else, face approximately the same tasks, but it is very difficult to put everything together. Rubber is very sensitive to changing conditions, and as soon as you make a mistake, you immediately roll back.

      We must remain calm and not jump to conclusions. And this applies to everyone. Let's recall, for example, the situation of Max Verstappen: in Japan, he was flying ahead of everyone, and the very next weekend he ran into problems. The results are so tight now that it's enough to make a mistake, and you immediately roll back five or six positions.

      We have all the necessary ingredients to succeed, but it's like cooking a meal: it's important to add each ingredient at the right moment. To be honest, I don't feel like we've managed to get the most out of our car, except for some sessions. But this applies not only to us, but to everyone in general. Even McLaren…

      A couple of years ago, in the first part of qualifying, you went to the track on Medium tires and after a single attempt you passed into the second session. And now even the top teams sometimes have to spend two sets of soft tires for this, which indicates a very high density of results.…

      We must continue to work calmly and engage in detailed analysis, looking for ways to add value. I think last year the team demonstrated their skills when we were able to add a few hundredths at the right moment, and I hope it will be the same this season.…

      It is very good for us that our two riders are pushing each other, and we must help them to fully open up. But both are distinguished by a truly champion approach to business..."
