“Let's be focused until the end, and try to get the best out of what we have.”- Fred Vasseur
The 57-year-old, who spoke to GPblog during the United States Grand Prix, touched on how Max Verstappen and the Red Bull Racing team are fast closing in on second place, before revealing that his team’s focus remains on finishing as strong as possible in the Constructors’ Championship.
“We are three teams within 10 points, but Max [Verstappen] is scoring big points each weekend. The most important thing is the addition of the two cars. Let's be focused until the end, and try to get the best out of what we have.”
“It's a good feeling to be back on the podium, to be back with both cars, to have the pace, and we'll fight until the last.”
The Ferrari team currently sits third in the Constructors’ standings, behind McLaren, who have already been crowned champions, and Mercedes, who are seven points ahead. The Maranello-based outfit are also closely followed by Red Bull, who are only three points behind in fourth place.
Ferrari experienced a return to the podium places during the United States Grand Prix, with Charles Leclerc clinching a third-place finish ahead of teammate Lewis Hamilton, who recorded a fourth-place finish.
