Ferrari’s results are “far away from expectation” so far this season, says team principal Frederic Vasseur. Vasseur said he “hopes we will do a step forward” as a result of a car upgrade being introduced in Spain. Vasseur added further car developments would be introduced over “the next two or three races”. Vasseur added: “We were P3 in qualifying and less than 0.1secs from the front row. But Vasseur said “no-one could say we did not have pace in Monaco” as the Ferrari drivers did not have a chance to show their potential because they were stuck in a queue of cars behind Alpine’s Esteban Ocon for much of the race. Vasseur said being able to fight for pole was “a satisfaction” but admitted the problem with Leclerc in qualifying was “a proper mistake”. Vasseur said: “It is true that so far we were struggling on the long stint with consistency.
