Frederic Vasseur, Ferrari.

Frederic Vasseur said that Ferrari will adopt “an aggressive approach” in Melbourne and will try to put pressure on Red Bull.

Ferrari has been the closest Red Bull’s rival in the first two races, but it still wasn’t enough to challenge the Milton Keynes-based outfit for the win.

The Ferrari team principal believes the Scuderia will still be fighting at the front of the field in Australia.

“After a busy start to the season with back-to-back races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, we’ve now made the longest trip of the year to Australia,” Vasseur said.

“The Albert Park track is a favorite with the drivers and one where Ferrari has always enjoyed a lot of support.

“We expect to be front-runners on this track, which could produce a similar pecking order to the one seen in Jeddah.

“We intend on adopting an aggressive approach with the aim of putting pressure on the team that’s won the first two races.”
