Fred Vasseur backs united Ferrari to deliver through demanding Belgian Grand Prix

Spa-Francorchamps combines a difficult circuit layout with rapidly changing weather in the Ardennes, placing greater emphasis on preparation, adaptability and clean execution throughout the weekend.

Vasseur believes Ferrari can rely on a united operation and a productive relationship between their drivers as they seek to maximize their result.

He said: "We arrive at Spa-Francorchamps knowing that a particularly demanding weekend lies ahead.

"It is one of the most challenging races of the year because of the characteristics of the track and the way the weather can change from one moment to the next in the Ardennes," the Frenchman added.

Conditions at Spa can vary across different sections of the circuit, increasing the importance of strategic decisions and communication between the drivers, engineers and the pit wall.

Vasseur said Ferrari’s internal cohesion would be an important asset, with the team working towards a common objective and its drivers continuing to push one another on track as the collectively continue to take the fight to Mercedes this year.

He added: "We know we can count on a united team with everyone always working in the same direction, and on two drivers who work well together and push each other every time they are on track."

Ferrari’s focus will be on delivering consistently from the opening practice session of the Belgian Grand Prix, and avoiding mistakes during a weekend in which changing conditions could quickly alter the competitive picture.

Vasseur concluded: "Once again, our objective is to maximize our result and make sure we execute every detail as well as possible from the first session to the chequered flag."
