“The China Grand Prix was another useful experience for us. We have confirmed some of the positive aspects we had seen in Melbourne, especially in terms of competition, but at the same time we have found that there are still areas where we have to improve. The overall level of competitiveness is very high and small details can have a great impact on the result – Vasseur explains. Suzuka is a very challenging circuit and represents another important opportunity to better understand SF-26 and continue to progress. We need to stay focused on ourselves, work on the whole package and make sure to put everything together during the weekend. After this race we will also have a month in Maranello, which will be important to analyze the data collected in the first three races and continue to develop the SF-26 in the right direction”.
