Vasseur in criticism: Hamilton defends Ferrari team boss!

Kanada, Land - On June 13, 2025, the topic of Ferrari will be hotly discussed again in Formula 1. Rumors about the possible discharge of the team leader Fred Vasseur before the upcoming Grand Prix of Canada cause unrest in the paddock. Lewis Hamilton recently commented on Vasseur and criticized speculation as "nonsense". Vasseur's contract, which runs until the end of this season, could not be extended, which increases the unrest in the team. Hamilton emphasized that he likes to work with Vasseur and is grateful for the chance of driving at Ferrari. Despite the current difficulties, Ferrari already has 198 points behind McLaren in the design rating.

In a positive light, Vasseur still sees the development of his team. He expressed that Ferrari will close the gap step by step. After the latest race, the Spain GP, Ferrari returned with a podium by Charles Leclerc. Leclerc achieved third place behind the McLaren pilots Oscar Piatri and Lando Norris. Vasseur praised Leclerc's contribution, which sacrificed a tire set for strategic advantages in the race, and emphasized that the team benefited from the conditions during the Safety Car phase.

racing analysis and strategic considerations

The performance of Ferrari during the Spain GP was the result of a combined strategy in which soft tires made better grip and a more constant pace possible. Hamilton, on the other hand, had difficulty with the vehicle balance and became sixth after he was in fourth place. Vasseur pointed out that Leclerc's luck played an important role during the security break: without this, Ferrari would probably have been fourth.

Hamiltions again expressed expectations indicate that Ferrari can gain more performance, because the team is now in second place in the design classification. "We focus on getting McLaren at speed," said Vasseur, while preparing for the remaining 15 races. This requires careful planning and continuous adaptation of the race strategies.

use of the latest data analyzes

A comprehensive analysis of the race strategy is essential for success in Formula 1. Teams such as Ferrari use advanced technologies to optimize performance during the race. Data analyzes and simulations help make decisions regarding the choice of tires, pit stops and fuel management. Strategists and engineers are in constant contact with the drivers to evaluate real-time data and make adjustments. These technologies, such as RaceWatch, enable the teams to collect over 1,000 data points per second to refine their strategies.

Overall, Ferrari and his drivers are facing an exciting time. With less than half of the season, both Vasseur and Hamilton are focused on maximizing the potential of the team and the Ferrari brand is traced back to the top of Formula 1.
