Vasseur expects ‘huge upgrades’ from rivals at second test

Ferrari Team Principal Fred Vasseur anticipates a flurry of "huge upgrades" from most teams at the upcoming second pre-season test in Bahrain, and potentially again in Melbourne. The Scuderia recently completed a successful first test, covering 4,500km with their "spec A" challenger, focusing on reliability and data collection. Vasseur expressed satisfaction with the car's initial robustness, noting zero stops for issues, which provides a solid foundation for development. He stressed that while Ferrari is pleased with their progress in understanding the car, performance comparisons are premature given the rapid development rate across the grid. The focus remains on building knowledge and correlation.
