Scandal Erupts as Ferrari Boss Fred Vasseur Skips F1 Austrian Grand Prix
In a shocking turn of events, Ferrari’s top honcho, Fred Vasseur, has decided to skip the upcoming F1 Austrian Grand Prix due to undisclosed “personal reasons.” This sudden announcement has sent shockwaves through the racing world, leaving fans and insiders alike speculating about the true motives behind Vasseur’s abrupt departure.
Vasseur’s absence will be filled by Jerome d’Ambrosio, who will step in as the deputy team principal for Ferrari during the high-stakes race. This unexpected development comes on the heels of Vasseur’s heated exchange with the Italian media during the recent Canadian Grand Prix, where he admonished journalists for their treatment of Ferrari personnel.
The Ferrari team has been under intense scrutiny following a lackluster start to the F1 2025 season, with the iconic team struggling to keep up with championship frontrunners McLaren. Reports from prominent Italian publications, including Gazzetta dello Sport and Corriere della Sera, have further fueled the controversy surrounding Vasseur and his management style.
Vasseur’s outburst in Montreal highlighted the mounting pressure on Ferrari to deliver results and maintain a competitive edge in the cutthroat world of Formula 1. With his contract set to expire at the end of the season, speculation is rife about the future of the Ferrari leadership and the direction the team will take moving forward.
Despite Ferrari’s vague explanation for Vasseur’s sudden departure, all eyes will be on the team as they navigate the Austrian Grand Prix without their fearless leader. With star driver Charles Leclerc starting in an impressive second position, the stakes are higher than ever for Ferrari as they strive to reclaim their dominance on the F1 circuit.
Stay tuned as this scandal continues to unfold, reshaping the landscape of Formula 1 and leaving fans on the edge of their seats with anticipation.
