A late downpour during the grand prix saw all the teams pit for wet tyres, with Ferrari unfortunately heading in too late and losing position at the front of the field, where they momentarily enjoyed a 1-2.
"Today, we were probably on the pace of Mercedes. It’s difficult to bring anything out of this race, it wasn’t the right strategy. Now let’s focus on the next one," Vasseur said regarding his team's performances.
"McLaren is a step ahead, behind we are all close."
However, as Vasseur was delivering an assessment of his team's performance, the Frenchman was hit by a gust of wind that sent his umbrella and himself flying out of the camera shot.
The stumble was not acknowledged by the Sky Italia presenters, but Vasseur seemed to take his battle with the weather in good humour as a small smile crept on his face.
