Ferrari Team Principal Fred Vasseur has hit back at the criticism of his team and claimed they have become a "target" for the media.
The Scuderia endured a difficult start in Bahrain, with Charles Leclerc forced to retire from third place after his electronics control unit (ECU) failed. The unit has had to be changed for a third time ahead of the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix this weekend, meaning the Monegasque man has been sanctioned with a 10-place penalty for the race in Jeddah.
But Vasseur has other problems to address. The team has been rocked by the departure of chief car concept engineer David Sanchez, with the Frenchman now expected to return to McLaren after more than a decade with the Italian giants.
