Ferrari's Approach to Improving Strategy under New Team Principal Frederic Vasseur

Throughout the Formula 1 season, Ferrari faced recurring issues with their strategy, including errors during the Monaco Grand Prix and questions over not pitting Charles Leclerc late on at Silverstone, as well as a controversial intermediate tire qualifying gamble in Brazil. While some felt the mistakes called for the replacement of the strategy chiefs, then-team principal Mattia Binotto was more understanding.
