Vasseur "convinced" Ferrari has everything it needs to win F1 title

New Ferrari Formula 1 boss Fred Vasseur is “convinced” the team has everything it needs to win the championship, and that targeting anything less would be a “lack of ambition.”

新任法拉利F1领队瓦塞尔“确信”车队拥有赢得冠军所需的一切，如果把目标定的太小就是“没有志向”。

Vasseur took over as Ferrari team principal earlier this month following Mattia Binotto’s departure in December, having overseen Sauber’s F1 operation for the previous five years.

在比诺托于去年12月离职之后，瓦塞尔在本月早些时候接任了法拉利车队领队，在过去的5年间，他一直在监管索伯F1车队的运营。

He joins a Ferrari team that has not won an F1 championship since 2008, and saw its early promise in 2022 fade through the season.

他加入的法拉利车队自2008年以来还没有赢得过F1冠军，并且看到他们在2022年早期的承诺在赛季中逐渐消退。

As well as losing ground on Red Bull in the development battle, Ferrari also struggled with poor engine reliability, strategic mistakes and occasional on-track errors that meant it failed to win a race after the Austrian Grand Prix in July.

在研发之战中败给红牛的同时，法拉利还在引擎可靠性差、战术失误和偶尔的赛道失误中挣扎，这意味着在7月的奥地利大奖赛之后他们再也没有赢得一场比赛。

But Vasseur downplayed talk of widespread changes at Maranello, believing the right ingredients were already in place for Ferrari to win again.

不过瓦塞尔淡化了马拉内罗中有大范围变动的说法，他相信为法拉利再次获胜的正确要素已经就位。

“I'm really convinced that Ferrari today, and, for sure, my experience is limited to the last two weeks, but we have everything to win,” Vasseur said in his first media call since taking charge of Ferrari on Thursday.

“我真的确信法拉利今天，并且毫无疑问，虽然我的经验仅限于过去的两周，但我们拥有获胜的一切”，瓦塞尔在周四他接管法拉利后的首次媒体会中说到。

“We have to put everything together to do a good job, but we have everything to be able to win.

“我们需要把每样东西都放在一起来把事情做好，不过我们拥有能获胜的一切。”

“You can have a look on the results of the last decades that the wheel is always running, and it's just a matter of continuous improvement for me.

“你可以回顾过去几十年的结果，事情总是在不断变化，对我来说这只是个持续改进的问题”

“If we are doing a better job than the others in a couple of months or years, then we will be able to win. Nothing is set in stone. If you have a look at some teams that were in a very dominant situation a couple of years ago, they are nowhere today.

“如果我们在几个月或者几年间做得比别人更好，我们就可以获胜。没有什么是一成不变的。如果你看一看几年前处于绝对统治地位的一些车队，他们今天已经落寞了。”

“You don’t have to take these directions that, ‘Okay, it was like this the last decade, or last 20 years, and it will stay like this in the future’.（注：这段话来自F1官网的文章，Autosport文章的断句似乎有些问题）

“你不必这样认为‘好吧，过去10或20年事情都是这样，在未来依旧会这样。’”

“F1 is a changing world and we just have to be focused on the job, on the performance, and everything is possible.”

“F1是一个不断变化的世界，我们只需专注于自己的工作，专注于赛车性能，一切皆有可能。”

While Ferrari’s runner-up finish in last year’s constructors’ championship marked its best result since 2019, CEO Benedetto Vigna said in an interview that nothing but the title would be good enough and that second was “first of the losers.”

虽然法拉利在去年的制造商积分榜上获得的亚军标志着其自2019年来的最好成绩，但法拉利CEO贝内德托·维尼亚在接受采访中提到，只有冠军才足够好，第二名则是“第一个失败者”。

Asked by Autosport if he felt any pressure to win the championship this year given Vigna’s comments, Vasseur said it was an “obvious target.”

当被Autosport问到，考虑到维尼亚的评论，对于赢得今年的冠军是否感到一些压力时，瓦塞尔表示这是一个“明显的目标”。

“When you are in a top team, you can’t have another target than the win,” he said.

“当你在一只顶级车队中，你不能有除了获胜之外的其他目标”，他说。

“You can’t start the season to say, ‘OK I would be happy with P2.’ It would be a lack of ambition. I think we have everything to do a good job, and the target has to be to win.”

“你不能在赛季开始时说，‘好吧，我对于第2名很高兴’。这是没有志向。我认为我们拥有做好事情的一切（要素），目标必须是获胜。”

Vasseur is the fifth team principal to take charge at Ferrari since it last won a championship, following Binotto, Maurizio Arriavabene, Marco Mattiacci and Stefano Domenicali.

瓦塞尔是法拉利自最后一次夺冠后继比诺托、阿里瓦贝内、马蒂亚奇和多梅尼卡利之后的第5位接管法拉利的车队领队。

At Sauber, he served as both the team principal and CEO of the F1 squad, while Ferrari is known for having greater internal politics through its various strands across racing and the car company.

在索伯，他同时任职车队领队和F1车队的CEO，而法拉利以其赛车和汽车公司各个方面巨大的内部政治而闻名。

Vasseur made clear he had no concerns about his level of autonomy at Ferrari, saying: “The situation is crystal clear.

瓦塞尔明确表示他不担心他在法拉利的自主程度，他说“状况很清晰”。

“Even last year at Sauber, I had to report to the chairman of the group, and you have always a boss. It’s not a new situation for me.

“即使去年在索伯，我也需要向集团董事长汇报，你总会有一个领导。这对我来说不是一个新的状况。”

“Now that I’m running the team, I have the delegation to do it, and I will do it as I want. We have enough discussion with Benedetto and John [Elkann, Ferrari chairman] on a daily basis to discuss the key points.

“现在我在管理车队，我有授权去做这件事，并且我可以按照我的想法去做。我们和贝内德托以及约翰（埃尔坎，法拉利汽车董事长）每天有充分的讨论去讨论关键点。”

“This is crystal clear and it’s working perfectly.”

“这十分清晰，并且工作完美。”
