'What happened on the formation lap?'

from from any sort of of pressure has it eased the pressure at all because I think Benedetto Vigna the the CEO of Ferrari was on site in Malaysia and probably keeping an eye actually on on on on what's going on on the track and I should imagine after they made the decision to go on to the slicks he's thinking oh god and and probably might be thinking oh god what's going on here but His drivers did him proud considering they started on the wrong tyre, didn't they?
Naomi SchiffGUEST
It's been a tough time, I think, for Fred Vasseur and the added pressure that's sort of been mounting on him besides some personal stuff going on.
Naomi SchiffGUEST
I think this is why the drivers also made sure that they came out and supported him.

Naomi SchiffGUEST
I think the thing that I gathered from what Lewis was saying is that there's clearly buy-in from the drivers on Fred's part.
Naomi SchiffGUEST
And of course, it isn't easy when the whole world is suggesting that somebody else wants to come in and that maybe the performances that Ferrari have put forward this year weren't good enough.
Naomi SchiffGUEST
And of course, the first person you look at is the leader, which is Fred Vasseur at the moment.
Naomi SchiffGUEST
So if those changes aren't happening quick enough and the media are picking up on it and putting pressure, it always does ring bells regardless of Lewis saying that they support him.
Naomi SchiffGUEST
But it's good that he does have buy-in from the drivers because that'll help him stay on board and keep making those changes to go forward.

a win? Look, I think, firstly, coming here, I'm very excited about this weekend because it has been a while since we've been on a track like this one.
Naomi SchiffGUEST
But, yes, this is the weekend that Ferrari are bringing their ADUO, Additional Development and Upgrade Opportunities, in.
Naomi SchiffGUEST
engine upgrade so of course the million dollar question is how much is that going to give them this is obviously the place to do it because as you mentioned at the top of the show this is the temple of speed and that top speed is going to matter here so if if indeed it does give as much potential as they're looking for then that will definitely put them in the game they have been in around the game they've been clearly the quickest team as opposed to mercedes of course mclaren have now joined that chat but ferrari seem to be you know best of the rest and if they get that little additional in the engine which is their achilles heel They'll definitely be in the conversation on Sunday.

Ted KravitzHOST
But I guess he wants to put himself out there for anything that might be available.
Naomi SchiffGUEST
But yeah, I mean, obviously, positions in F1 don't come available very easily, right? And there's drivers who've been in positions in cars for over two decades.
