Frederic Vasseur: The level of competition is very high.

      Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur is looking forward to the Japanese Grand Prix with optimism...

      Frederic Vasseur: "In China, we took another step forward, confirming some positive aspects noticed in Melbourne, especially in race conditions. But it is clear that there are areas where we need to improve.

      The level of competition is very high, and any small detail can seriously affect the result. Suzuka is a very challenging track, and it’s a great opportunity to better understand the SF-26 and make progress. We need to focus on ourselves, continue working with the car, and ensure that we can get the most out of it throughout the weekend.

      After this race, we will have a month to work at the factory, which will allow us to analyze the information gathered from the first three races and continue moving in the right direction."
