MANAMA : Fred Vasseur says he is loving the pressure as he prepares for his first race as Ferrari Formula One team boss, as well as having a shorter walk to work from the track car park.
Ferrari have not won a championship since the 2008 constructors' title but expectations, and pressure levels, are always high."I have to walk much less from the parking to the hospitality, first," Vasseur told reporters at the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix when asked how the experience so far compared to his previous job.
"I am very keen to have this kind of target and this kind of motivation every day," he added when asked further about the pressure.Vasseur is Ferrari's fifth team boss in less than a decade and stands out already from most of his predecessors as a man who mixes the weight of the job with a smile and chuckling sense of humour.
Ferrari's Charles Leclerc raced for Vasseur at Sauber and Spanish team mate Carlos Sainz was long on the wish list as someone he tried, and failed, to hire.
