Ferrari boss Frederic Vasseur sets goal for Azerbaijan GP as Nico Rosberg pinpoints team's 'Achilles' heel'

Ferrari arrive in Baku with signs of competitive speed but little recent reward: Charles Leclerc’s second place in Belgium is their only podium across the last five rounds, despite Lewis Hamilton showing front-running potential in Madrid qualifying. Team principal Frederic Vasseur says the priority is to make every part of the weekend work together, highlighting the confidence and adaptability Baku demands. Sky Sports pundit Nico Rosberg points to strategy and communication as persistent weaknesses, arguing that Ferrari are close to the leading pace but fail to convert it consistently. The stakes are substantial: Ferrari sit 145 points behind Mercedes in the constructors’ standings, while McLaren have outscored them at each of the last four rounds and are 52 points back. Baku’s unforgiving street circuit offers a clear test of whether Ferrari can turn pace into a clean, productive weekend.
