The Ferrari team principal is aware that the moment Lewis Hamilton dons the red suit, all hell will break loose. However, Frederic Vasseur has indicated that he is not interested; he is solely focused on performance on the track...
The Scuderia boss doesn't care about the hustle and bustle, he just wants to focus on the job, and he demands this from his new driver:
“I don’t care about the hustle and bustle; we need to focus on the upcoming season. We have a very busy period ahead of us, starting with the unveiling day, and I would like everyone to be concerned about performance. There’s the season-opening event, the car unveiling—that’s already two events, which is more than enough. I want us to exclude the show and focus solely on how we can improve. There will be the car unveiling—that’s already two events, which I think is already too many. That’s more than enough! I would like performance improvement to be the focus, not the show.”
“It’s always a serious challenge, as there are only six weeks between the beginning of January and the unveiling in London, and it won’t be easy. But Lewis already has experience in these things, he’s not a novice, so I’m not afraid of the pressure that awaits him. He’ll only have a few days to adapt to everything before the tests, but we have our simulator, where he can familiarize himself with the steering wheel, all the specifics of the car, and run qualifying and race simulations. In addition, he’ll have a second home in Milan, so he can spend as much time as possible with us,” the team principal reflected on the tasks ahead.
