Formula 1 is amidst a whirlwind of speculation surrounding Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur’s future, but F1 boss Stefano Domenicali is not having any of it. In a bold and definitive statement, Domenicali has thrown his unwavering support behind Vasseur, urging the press to cease the rumors and allow Ferrari to reclaim its glory under Vasseur’s guidance.
Despite Ferrari’s ambitions to secure their first F1 championship since 2008, the team has faltered in comparison to their rivals, McLaren. With just three podium finishes to their name, all thanks to Charles Leclerc, and a solitary victory by Lewis Hamilton in the China Sprint, Ferrari is struggling to keep up with the pace set by McLaren in the 2025 championship race.
Speculations about Vasseur’s position at Ferrari reached a fever pitch, with reports suggesting that Ferrari had even approached Red Bull’s Christian Horner as a potential replacement. However, Horner swiftly shut down these rumors in an exclusive interview, reaffirming his commitment to Red Bull.
Former Ferrari team boss Domenicali, in a statement to the press, emphasized his confidence in Vasseur’s leadership abilities and warned against the detrimental effects of external pressures on the team. Domenicali’s message was echoed by Vasseur himself, who stressed the importance of allowing Ferrari to operate without distractions in order to succeed in the highly competitive F1 landscape.
As tensions mount and the spotlight intensifies on Ferrari, Vasseur and his team are acutely aware that any loss of focus could cost them dearly in the championship race. With Domenicali’s resolute support and Vasseur’s unwavering determination, Ferrari is poised to navigate through the storm and reclaim its position at the summit of Formula 1.
