Emotional Outburst
Sky Sports has issued an apology after Ferrari chief Fred Vasseur delivered an X-rated rant during a live interview. The incident occurred ahead of the Italian Grand Prix, which took place at the iconic Monza circuit, the home race for Ferrari.
Passion and Emotion
Vasseur's outburst came after the third and final practice session at Monza. He expressed his frustration, saying, "I tried all week to calm everybody down and say, 'Guys, you can't score more points in Monza than somewhere else'. But this is bulls***. When you arrive on Thursday morning at Monza with all the guys in red, you can feel it. You can feel the passion, the emotion. For us, we have to take it as a positive and get an extra push from this."
A Quick Apology
Presenter Simon Lazenby quickly apologized to viewers for the language used by Vasseur during the interview. Lazenby acknowledged the emotional nature of the conversation but made sure to address the inappropriate language.
Challenging Season for Ferrari
This season has been tough for the Ferrari team, with Charles Leclerc securing their only two podium finishes in 2023, both in third place. Leclerc currently sits in sixth in the Drivers' Championship, one spot ahead of his teammate Carlos Sainz.
Qualifying Success

Verstappen's Streak
