Italian F1 media reveal timeline for Fred Vasseur Ferrari sacking
The Italian F1 media has revealed a timeline for Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur potentially losing his job, with his contract set to expire at the end of the 2025 season.
Despite signing seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, Ferrari has struggled in the 2025 season and is currently behind McLaren by 197 points.
The next three race weekends, including the Canadian GP, Austrian GP, and Silverstone GP, will be crucial in determining Vasseur’s future with the team.
Pressure is on Ferrari to provide Hamilton and Charles Leclerc with a competitive car for the 2026 season as new regulations loom large.
Ferrari began to show signs of improvement with Leclerc’s podium finishes, but Hamilton’s lackluster performances are raising concerns for Vasseur.
Vasseur worked with Hamilton in GP2 and will need to extract more from the star driver to secure his position with Ferrari for the upcoming seasons.
