<\/p>\nFerrari F1 team principal Fred Vasseur shocked viewers as he dropped an X-rated outburst live on Sky Sports during an interview at the Monza Grand Prix.<\/p>\n
Vasseur spoke to Sky following the third and final practise session, before qualifying began and all eyes turned to how the Prancing Horse fared in their own backyard.<\/p>\n
But the Ferrari chief was unable to paint his usual laidback manner as he dropped expletives live on air as the pressure seemed to tell on the Frenchman.<\/p>\n
Vasseur said: \u201cIt's quite emotional. I tried all week to calm everybody down and say, 'Guys, you can't score more points in Monza than somewhere else'.<\/p>\n

"But this is bulls***. When you arrive on Thursday morning at Monza with all the guys in red, you can feel it.<\/p>\n
"You can feel the passion, the emotion. For us, we have to take it as a positive and get an extra push from this."<\/p>\n
Vasseur\u2019s slip of the tongue left Sky anchor Simon Lazenby smirking before he addressed the Ferrari chief\u2019s rant, he said: "A quick apology for the language."<\/p>\n

But Vasseur was left with plenty to celebrate on Saturday afternoon as Ferrari\u2019s Carlos Sainz pipped Max Verstappen to pole, whilst Charles Leclerc qualified in P3 in a dream start to Sunday\u2019s GP.<\/p>\n
Reflecting on Ferrari\u2019s qualifying in what has largely been a miserable season for Ferrari, Vasseur said: \u201cFor sure it\u2019s a great feeling, even if we know that most important is Sunday.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u201cBut it\u2019s a good milestone for us, a great achievement today and more than happy for Carlos because he\u2019s had a very solid weekend from the first lap of FP1 and I think it\u2019s probably where he picked up the confidence to do such a strong lap at the end of Q3.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pole at Monza is just the fourth of Sainz\u2019s career with all of the previous three coming last year. <\/p>\n
Sainz is also yet to finish on the podium this year with a P4 finish on the opening weekend of the season in Bahrain back in March his highest finish of the year to date.<\/p>\n
