Team principal Fred Vasseur praised Carlos Sainz for his exceptional approach during his final year with Ferrari. Despite knowing he was being replaced by Lewis Hamilton for the 2025 season, Sainz remained dedicated and continued to push the team forward.
Vasseur emphasized the importance of staying focused on the current season while also planning for the future. He commended Sainz for his professionalism and dedication throughout the season, even amidst discussions with other teams about his future.
After the disappointment of missing out on the constructors’ championship in Abu Dhabi, Vasseur quickly shifted his focus to the upcoming 2025 season. He highlighted the collective improvement within the team and expressed confidence in their ability to do better moving forward.
