Vasseur urges Ferrari to keep improving as the Scuderia releases highlight video after emotional Monaco win
Having taking an emotional win at last Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix, Ferrari team boss Fred Vasseur stressed that his team needs to keep improving its performance in every area despite having displayed an encouraging form in the opening part of the season.
Following an up-and-down season in 2023, Ferrari appears to have upped its game for the current champioship under the leadership of Fred Vasseur.
While the Frenchman spent the beginning of last year by assessing the Scuderia, the team has implemented several key tweaks to its organisation for this year. Charles Leclerc's race engineer Xavi Marcos left the Scuderia to take on another role within Ferrari while chief strategist Inaki Rueda also left the Maranello-based team.
Ferrari have also hired several key members, who have already started to work in Maranello while several other members will only join the Italian squad later. It includes Jerome D'Ambrosio and Loic Serra, who departed from Mercedes to join Ferrari as deputy team principal and performance engineer respectively and will both start their work at Maranello this October.
Ferrari have already won two races this year with Carlos Sainz having secured his third career victory in Melbourne while his team-mate Charles Leclerc displayed a dominant form at last weekend's Monaco Grand Prix to take his first home win.
Despite the wins and the encouraging pace on a variety of tracks, Ferrari team boss Fred Vasseur urged his outfit to keep finding improvements in every area.
Speaking of the mentality that he expects from his team, the Frenchman said: "If you start to think that you are in a good shape, you are dead."
"It means that we need to keep the same approach and to have continuous improvement, department by department, on every single area, including drivers, including the pit wall, including everything.
"Even when you are doing a good job, you have to do a better job the week after. If you start to be convinced that what you are doing is good, it's the beginning of the end. On every single area we have to push the boundaries a little bit more," the Frenchman is quoted as saying by Autosport.
