Reliability was not the top concern for new Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur before the start of the Formula One season but Sunday's opening race in Bahrain sent it back up the list of priorities.
Until then both drivers had been more focused on whether their car could match the speed of the Red Bull, who suffered a double retirement last year but this time cruised to a one-two finish with Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez."It's the first time we had it and we didn't face the same issue at all during the 6,000-7,000km that we did with the engines in the last week with the three teams.
"We have to improve on this but I would say that the first issue for me is the reliability because we need to have zero issues."
