Vasseur offers Ferrari upgrade promise to frustrated Leclerc

Ferrari endured a challenging Azerbaijan Grand Prix, with Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton finishing P4 and P6. Despite Leclerc's front-row start, the team struggled with a significant straight-line speed deficit, causing them to slip back during race pace and restarts. Team Principal Fred Vasseur acknowledged that the results were the maximum possible under the circumstances but emphasized that the team is not satisfied with the current performance. Vasseur pointed to a lack of chassis performance convergence as a key issue, noting that the competitive edge they previously held has diminished. He explained that the team was forced into compromised aerodynamic setups to defend their positions, creating a negative spiral in performance. Looking ahead, Vasseur confirmed that Ferrari will introduce technical upgrades "soon" to address these shortcomings, as the development race against rivals like McLaren and Mercedes intensifies while teams begin shifting focus toward next year's regulatory changes.
