Frédéric Vasseur plans Ferrari improvement after difficult Italian Grand Prix

Scuderia Ferrari team principal Frédéric Vasseur acknowledged the emotional pressure surrounding the Italian Grand Prix at Monza after Lewis Hamilton finished in sixth place. Despite the home crowd support, the team could not deliver a podium result as Kimi Antonelli secured the win. Vasseur noted that the race environment proved difficult to manage despite his attempts to treat the event as a standard round. Hamilton reported friction during the race, citing a near-collision with teammate Charles Leclerc that necessitated internal discussions regarding rules of engagement. Ferrari is now shifting focus to the upcoming race in Madrid, with Vasseur expressing a commitment to returning with better performance. The team plans to evaluate the weekend's events at their factory before finalizing preparations for the inaugural event at the Madrid circuit.
