Much of the attention is on Red Bull and McLaren in the Constructors' Championship, but Ferrari are still knocking on the door. Team boss Fred Vasseur believes the gap is bridgeable. The team boss looks ahead to the US Grand Prix.

"Since Singapore, we have been working flat out and the high speed turns at this track will provide a useful test for the upgrades we introduced at previous races. As is always the case at a Sprint weekend, the work carried out at the factory prior to the event takes on greater importance," the Ferrari team boss said.

This weekend there will be another Sprint race. The first meaningful session, sprint qualifying, will take place on Friday so there is only time for one practice session. View the full schedule for the United States Grand Prix here.

In any case, Vasseur is already warning the competition. "Charles and Carlos and the whole team are well prepared and keen to go racing again, as always, looking to get every last bit of performance out of our package. We have to be on top of our game, as the leading teams are very evenly matched and there is still everything to play for in the championship," the French team boss of the Italian Scuderia concluded.
