F1 | Ferrari, Vasseur satisfied with Leclerc's podium in Belgium

La Ferrari goes on holiday with a podium conquered by Leclerc in Belgium. The Monegasque driver, who started from pole position, only had to raise the white flag against the unstoppable teams Red Bull, especially that of verstappen, while with Perez the gap was more or less contained. Positive is the fact that we kept up with the Mercedes di Hamilton evidently the SF-23 she had a very good time Spa-Francorchamps compared to this season's standards. A real shame for sainz, out of the game practically immediately after contact with Piastres on turn 1.

“We manage to prepare the weekends well with the Sprints – said Frederic Vasseur, Ferrari team principal to Sky. There are fewer free practices and we are on track when we get to the circuits, and this is one of the conclusions that can be drawn, but we must not overestimate the significance of the numbers. I think that overall this was a good weekend, because we showed excellent pace with the dry tires, in the wet and in all conditions, both on the flying lap and on the long runs. From the drivers' point of view it went like this: Charles had a good start, as well as pit stops and strategy and had a good pace, while Carlos finished his race after a corner, and we tried to keep the car on the track waiting for a red flag to fix the car, but that wasn't the case."

“It was a race accident, but perhaps whoever was behind, Piastri seemed a little optimistic and it affected him, but it's quite complicated to evaluate in situations like those. It was difficult for us to have an early picture of the race because we didn't do any simulations, we were all blind even with the strategies, we didn't know the behavior of the tires but I think the wall reacted well. Zandvoort and Monza will be two different and complicated tracks, our favorite track can be anywhere because the margins are very narrow, for example we saw McLaren, where everyone said that last week it was flying, while today it was struggling, for us it was the opposite and it will be like this until the end of the season, but the most important thing will be to avoid excessive reactions: we are not world champions today, we were not failures yesterday. We need to sort out details and keep in mind that even though the pace wasn't too far behind Checo, Max is still too far ahead."
