Ferrari left frustrated despite strong United States GP pace

Ferrari came away from the United States Grand Prix with mixed feelings. The team showed strong race pace, with Fred Vasseur acknowledging frustration afterward because Ferrari had the speed to aim higher.

Leclerc secured second place, but made clear he wanted more than that result. Reports also indicated Ferrari’s upgraded car was quick in the race and managed tyre degradation well.

Even so, the outcome left a sense that more was possible for Ferrari over the weekend. While the result was solid on paper, the team was not fully satisfied with second place alone.
