“HE NOT READY” Vasseur puts lewis hamilton on comment pushing to fix MAJOR his problem with Ferrari Contract 2025
Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur has affirmed that the team is exerting every effort to resolve the car’s persistent bouncing problem, a technical flaw that has notably troubled incoming driver Lewis Hamilton in the past.
Vasseur’s comments come after the issue re-emerged during the Belgian Grand Prix, particularly evident on lighter fuel loads.
Hamilton had to endure significant bouncing issues in 2022 when Mercedes struggled to get to grips with their car’s ride height under the new regulations. The seven-time world champion suffered significant back pain during races because of the issue.
Now, Vasseur is keen to fix the issue on their 2024 car before Hamilton makes the switch to Maranello in 2025.
“Fixing the bouncing is a step in performance, so for sure we are pushing like hell to bring something and we will do it as soon as possible,” Vasseur declared to motorsport.com.
“I think it’s quite impossible to simulate the bouncing because you can see that from session to session when the wind changes direction or whatever, that the bouncing can appear or disappear, that it’s really marginal. We are all really on the edge of this.”
Ferrari has been working to understand and mitigate the factors contributing to the problem.
“We have some metrics to imagine if we’ll be in a better shape or not, but at the end of the day we are also pushed by the performance that we could gain with a bit more downforce sometimes,” Vasseur noted.
