Ferrari is undoubtedly among the teams promoted in the last season. The Cavallino team was among the protagonists of 2024, competing for the constructors' title with McLaren until the last race. An appointment, that of Abu Dhabi, which however brought a smile to the Woking team which returned victorious in the World Manufacturers' Championship after a 26-year drought: in fact, since the days of Ron Dennis, Mika Hakkinen and David Coulthard had the English team not triumphed in this special ranking .
Frederic Vasseur, commenting on the Red team's championship, expressed his satisfaction with the steps forward made by the team compared to last year. At the same time, the French manager underlined how Ferrari did not lose the world championship fight with McLaren at the Yas Marina Circuit, but rather in those summer races where the SF-24's performance was far from the top.
“We are going in the right direction. We improved in every single pillar of performance: reliability, strategy, pit stops, pure performance and on KPIs (Key Performance Indicator, ed.), we achieved five victories against one and on points, we achieved 60% more points in 2024 compared to 2023,” said Vasseur interviewed by F1.com.
The Ferrari team principal, continuing his analysis, added: “Everything is going in the right direction. We missed the last step, but when we went to Abu Dhabi the percentage chance of winning was very low. After Saturday, it was very low. It's true after the second or third lap, I said: 'Ah the planets are almost aligned now, let's push'. But it is not in Abu Dhabi that we have lost something. Abu Dhabi itself was a good event, it's more in Canada that we had a double zero, or in the summer we missed something.”
