Vasseur flags Singapore’s one-hour practice window as extra challenge for Ferrari

Ferrari has just one 60-minute practice session before sprint qualifying in Singapore. At Marina Bay, drivers generally want as many laps as possible to build confidence, says team principal Fred Vasseur, who calls the sprint weekend an added challenge.

Vasseur says the gaps between teams are small, so Ferrari must make every session count—especially first practice, when its drivers can learn the car.

He also describes Singapore as one of Ferrari’s hardest races of the year, particularly because this year’s race comes at the end of a triple-header.
