Ferrari fans can’t believe what ‘delusional’ Frederic Vasseur just said after Imola qualifying disaster

Ferrari have suffered a nightmare at Imola as Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton were eliminated in Q2 in 11th and 12th respectively.

The Maranello outfit were optimistic coming into the weekend, having brought new upgrades to the SF-25. However, Ted Kravitz was unimpressed by Ferrari’s updates, stating that he expected more from the team.

Leclerc and Hamilton looked off the pace in practice, with the former suffering an airflow issue on Friday. Things did not improve on Saturday as the pair struggled with a lack of grip with the C6 tyre compound.

Ultimately, Ferrari would suffer a double Q2 exit, lining up on the sixth row of the grid for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. It got worse for the Italian crowd as home hero Kimi Antonelli was also eliminated, putting his Mercedes 13th for the race.

Ferrari were even outqualified by Aston Martin, who found something in the medium compound to get Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll into Q3. It has left fans scratching their heads over their constant problems, especially with team principal Frederic Vasseur’s assessment on qualifying.

Ferrari fans blast ‘delusional’ Frederic Vasseur for his Imola qualifying assessment

Vasseur keeps talking about the ‘potential’ of the Ferrari in interviews. Hamilton will be sick of hearing it as the SF-25 seems to find more problems than solutions every weekend.

Speaking with Sky Italy after qualifying, Vasseur claimed that Ferrari would have been ‘P4 and P5′ if had they had executed their plan properly. It did not take long for the Tifosi to flood the comments on X (formerly Twitter) with their discontent over the boss’ comments.

One fan said: “No way that Ferrari has P4-P5 pace. AMs outpaced them on Mediums… come on!” while another could not believe the statement was real: “There’s no way he said this.” One user even accused Vasseur of: “Rage baiting.”

“Isn’t he tired of embarrassing himself and the team as well??” said another disgruntled Ferrari fan. One had had enough of Vasseur as they wrote: “This man is one of the most delusional persons I have seen.”

Finally, one Ferrari fan blasted Vasseur’s expectations: “If they had truly done everything right, why are we settling for P4 and P5 as a target? That’s not the standard Ferrari should aim for.

“Strategy blunders, poor execution, and lack of urgency, it’s the same story again. The team needs to stop talking and start delivering results.”

Ferrari have countless issues that need addressing to save their 2025 season

After six races in 2025, Ferrari are already 152 points behind McLaren in the constructors’ championship. The SF-25 does lack the pace of its rivals, but several mistakes from the team have not helped matters.

A botched strategy call denied a potential 1-2 in Melbourne, while Leclerc and Hamilton were disqualified in Shanghai. Indecisiveness in strategy and miscommunication over the radio hampered the team in Miami as they lacked the pace of Williams.

Hamilton’s sarcastic radio messages highlighted his frustration with the team, as senior figures seem hesitant to make big decisions. Bernie Collins is worried by Ferrari’s radio messages – it simply has to be addressed.

Morale is low at Ferrari as they struggle to find answers to their problems. Leclerc and Hamilton have a huge mountain to climb to extract a top result at Imola.
