“Is he the problem? I don’t think he’s the problem at the moment. The car’s not fast enough.”
Martin Brundle has criticized the speculation about Frederic Vasseur’s future at Ferrari, calling it “nuts” and saying it should be the “last thing” they consider. Italian media reported increasing pressure on Vasseur to hold onto his position as Ferrari team principal before the Canadian Grand Prix. Ferrari have denied these rumors, with Ferrari endurance chief Antonello Coletta named as a potential successor. Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc came out in support of Vasseur during the media day in Montreal. Brundle believes it would be a mistake to change team principals, emphasizing the need for stability at Ferrari and highlighting Vasseur’s experience and leadership qualities. The history of Ferrari’s team principals shows a pattern of changes but no title success since 2008, with Brundle emphasizing the importance of continuity and trusting in Vasseur’s capabilities.
