Ferrari's team principal Frederic Vasseur expressed optimism as the team prepares for the upcoming Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid, aiming to recover from their disappointing performance at Monza. Following high hopes during the Italian GP, where Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc showed promise in practice, Ferrari's race ended in disappointment with Leclerc crashing out early and Hamilton finishing sixth after a challenging race.

Vasseur acknowledged the team's need to harness their energy for a better result in Spain, stating, "We will come to Madrid with all the energy that we need to do a good result." He reflected on the emotional weight of racing at Monza, emphasizing the team's desire to thank their passionate fans, the Tifosi, for their unwavering support.

Despite introducing their second engine upgrade of the season, Ferrari struggled with straight-line speed, particularly against competitors like Mercedes and Red Bull. Vasseur admitted, "We are missing pure power," and noted that while they had made some improvements, the gap to the benchmark teams remains significant.

Looking ahead, Vasseur is optimistic about the development of a new engine for the upcoming season, highlighting the long process involved in engine upgrades compared to chassis improvements. He reassured fans that the team is committed to making strides in performance.

As the Spanish GP approaches, the schedule includes:

• Friday, September 11: F1 Practice and Qualifying
• Sunday, September 13: The main race at 2 PM

With renewed determination, Ferrari aims to turn the tide and deliver a strong performance in Madrid.
