Vasseur: 'Problem if that's not under control'

Ferrari team boss Fred Vasseur has revealed that his outfit has been on the edge with bouncing on recent months, but the Scuderia has it more or less under control.

Following a strong start to the season, Ferrari has endured serious issues that have held the Maranello-headquartered team's performance back in recent weeks.

The upgrade package introduced at Barcelona has re-induced porpoising, which has only been partially addressed and the team hopes that it will be fully resolved post-summer break.

Despite the issues with its recent upgrade package, the Scuderia achieved a big improvement, having collected 134 points more in the first 14 races this year than in same period of last season.

Regarding the bouncing, Ferrari team boss Fred Vasseur insists that the phenomenon is an issue that is extremely challenging to control and simulate at the factory despite the high-tech tools teams have at their disposal.

"The issue is when bouncing is not under control. It's quite impossible to simulate the bouncing because you can see that from session to session when the wind change the direction or whatever, the bouncing can appear or disappear. It's really marginal."

"We are already on the edge of this. You can't simulate this in the wind tunnel. We have some metrics to imagine if we'll be in a better shape or not, but at the end of the day, we are also pushed by the delta of performance that we could gain.

"We need to figure out how to simulate this kind of non-stable situation," Vasseur concluded.
