Ferrari Boss Fred Vasseur Highlights ‘Negative’ After Hamilton’s…read more.

Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton secured a stunning pole position, but Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur pointed out a “negative” aspect despite the result.

Hamilton’s pole came as a surprise, given Mercedes’ struggles throughout the season. However, Vasseur noted that while the result was impressive for Hamilton, it also revealed a concern for Ferrari. The Italian team had high hopes of challenging for pole but fell short, raising questions about their qualifying pace.

Speaking after the session, Vasseur acknowledged Hamilton’s achievement but expressed disappointment that Ferrari could not capitalize on the opportunity. “It’s great for Lewis, but from our perspective, it also highlights something negative,” Vasseur said. “We expected to be more competitive, but we weren’t able to extract the maximum potential.”

Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz had shown strong performances in practice sessions, but when it mattered most, they couldn’t match Hamilton’s pace. This has raised concerns ahead of the race, as Ferrari looks to improve its race pace and strategy to challenge for victory.

Meanwhile, Hamilton was thrilled with his pole position, calling it one of the most rewarding of his career. However, Mercedes remains cautious about their race performance, as Ferrari and Red Bull are expected to be strong contenders on race day.

With the race ahead, Ferrari will need to analyze what went wrong in qualifying and find a way to bounce back. The battle between Mercedes, Ferrari, and Red Bull is set to deliver an exciting contest on Sunday.
