Vasseur dreamed awake: "Ferrari is back in the championship fight."

Frederic Vasseur only needed two decent weekends for his imagination to take off. Charles Leclerc was able to stand on the podium in Monaco and Barcelona, which was just enough for the Frenchman to declare with enthusiasm: The Scuderia is fighting for the championship again!

Breaking: They weren't fighting for it until now either; this story has been a two-participant affair from the beginning, and we can only hope that this will change next year...

“After Monaco, we finished on the podium again, which is wonderful! We are delivering our third good result in a row, and with this, we have returned to the championship battle. (??) We had a very difficult qualifying in Imola, but then we put down a strong race. Then came Monaco, and now Barcelona, where the events also unfolded according to a similar script. Each time, we really struggled with just one thing: tire management. We find it difficult to understand the differences between the operating ranges of the soft and medium tires. Driven by this, Charles decided to use different tires and tactics at the Spanish Grand Prix, which was a good idea because our two cars didn’t lose time because of each other. If we can maintain this development pace and also improve in qualifying, then the real big improvement will come.” - Vasseur commented.

This last point is not in question, but it is still a very strong exaggeration to consider Ferrari as part of the championship fight...
