The Ferrari team boss is aware that all hell will break loose the moment Lewis Hamilton puts on the red suit. However, Frederic Vasseur has stressed that he is not interested in that, but only in the performance seen on the track…
The Scuderia boss doesn't care how much excitement there will be, he wants to focus exclusively on work and demands the same from the new driver:
"I don't care about the hustle and bustle, we need to focus on the season ahead. We have a very busy period ahead of us, starting with the presentation day, and I would like everyone to be focused on performance. The season opener is coming, the car presentation, those are already two events, which is more than enough. I want to exclude the show and just focus on how we can be better. , there will be the car presentation – those are already two events, which I think is already too much. That is more than enough! I would like the focus to be on improving performance, not the show"
"This is always a serious challenge, because from the beginning of January to the presentation in London only six weeks pass, and this will not be easy. But Lewis already has experience in these things, he is not a novice, so I am not afraid of the pressure that awaits him. He will only have a few days to adapt before the tests, but we have our simulator, where he can learn how the steering wheel works, all the peculiarities of the car, he can carry out qualifying and race simulations. As an aid, he will also have a second home in Milan, so that he can spend as much time with us as possible." - reflected the team boss on the tasks awaiting him.
