Scuderia Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur acknowledged severe cooling system problems after the Singapore Grand Prix on Sunday, but the technical issues prevented competitive performance throughout the race. The team showed promise on Friday morning, but failed to maximize potential in qualifying before the cooling challenges emerged immediately at race start.

Vasseur said the cars performed well in clear air conditions for approximately 10 percent of the race, but drivers struggled with lift-and-coast strategies from lap three through the 62-lap event. The cooling management disadvantage forced drivers below optimal performance levels at a circuit where clean air remains difficult to maintain.

Ferrari faces two weeks before the next race in Austin to resolve the thermal management deficiencies. The team must address the fundamental cooling architecture to restore competitive pace, and Vasseur indicated the technical staff recognizes the urgency of implementing solutions before the United States Grand Prix.
