Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur has responded to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso’s claim about the team’s prospects for the upcoming F1 races.

Speaking after the Dutch Grand Prix, the Aston Martin driver made a168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: bold prediction that Ferrari would be the team to beat at the Italian Grand Prix - their home race - and the upဣcoming Singapore Grand Pr𒈔ix.

Ferrari have lost ground to Red Bull since the start of the seasꦺon and appear to have been overtaken by M🦩cLaren and Mercedes in the competitive order. 

The Italian outfit claimed an unexpected podium at Zandvoort, having recovered well from a dire qualifying performance, with168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Charles Leclerc ending up a second off the pace in sixth and168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Carlos Sainz dumped out in Q2.

Alonso claimed Ferrari “will be the🏅 favourites” in two of the next three races.

“I think the top four teams, maybe Mercedes, are a little bit up and down, but McLaren, Red 🔯Bull and Ferrari, they are podium contenders every weekend,” he said.

“The next two races [not including Baku], for example, Ferrari should be the car to beat. What we saw last year in Monza and Singapore, Leclerc's 𝓰win in Monaco this year, for Singapore, I think they will be the favourites.”

Ferra♍ri team principal Vasseur wasꩵ asked about Alonso’s comments but was quick to downplay any suggestions that his team are favourites.

“If heꦓ’s trying to put pressure, he has to be sure that I won’t♔ read the Twitter of Fernando Alonso,” Vasseur said.

“I don’t have Twitter, but I don’t need to have someone t🔥elling me that we are the favourite or not.

“We will ♉have exact🌠ly the same approach in any case. I hope that we will be in a better shape in the next two or three events.

“We were in a much꧙ better shape last year on these tracks.

“Again🐠, it’s a matter of details. The fact that we are in a better shape on the short corner will hel💖p us. If we are able to do a step of one or two tenths, it’s a game changer.

“We know also that everybody is improving. We know also that today we had still a big gap with La🐎ndo and that we were💝 quite far away. It means that we have a lot of work to do.

“I will never go to Monza🌱, Baku or whatever with the feelꦜing that it will be an easy one.”
