Talking after the race, Workforce Principal Vasseur stated: “The massive emotion is it’s at all times good to complete the weekend on a constructive, and in case you weigh up the race, it’s positive you improve just a little bit the frustration from Saturday however I’d relatively have the frustration from a poor qualifying and race than a poor race, so it’s okay it was like this.
“I believe it’s good to complete and assault the three or four-week break with a constructive tone. I don’t know if Lando [Norris] was pushing the final 20 laps however we had been on the identical tempo, and that’s a constructive for the weekend.
“Our goal was to not match Lando in the present day, it was to return again and rating factors and on this we did restoration.”
With six races to go, together with three Sprints, there are many alternatives for Ferrari to progress up the standings – however Vasseur emphasised that it will solely occur in the event that they amend their Saturday technique and maximise their qualifying performances.
