Scuderia team principal Frédéric Vasseur approaches the end of the season with a particular approach to try to bring back a constructors' title to Ferrari, a first since 2008.
Formula 1 is preparing to begin the final sprint of its 2024 tour and neither championship is yet sealed. In Brazil, Max Verstappen, however, took a serious option on the world drivers' crown, the Dutchman having delivered a real demonstration in the rain As far as the manufacturers' title is concerned, the game is far from over.
McLaren, Ferrari and Red Bull are on 47 points at the dawn of the last three meetings of the season, while a double brings 43. Everything can therefore still happen between these three teams. Before the first Grand Prix of this closing triple meeting, Mercedes and Ferrari are ahead of the reigning champion team.
In pole position to win this coronation, the Woking team would achieve it for the first time since 1998. For the Scuderia, this title would be the first since the 2008 season.
Vasseur satisfied with his approach

Asked about this, the Ferrari boss detailed the way in which he will approach these last races, taking into account the status of the team of which he holds the reins.

The next round that Formula 1 will contest will be held in the streets of Las Vegas, an event that smiled on Charles Leclerc last year who snatched second place from Sergio Pérez in the last lap of the event at the price with an incisive maneuver.
