The Italian media have claimed that a radical step involving Fred Vasseur could be made by Ferrari.
According to reports from Italian media, Ferrari is considering a radical shake-up to its senior management structure.
At present, Fred Vasseur serves as the team principal of Ferrari, reporting to Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna and chairman John Elkann.
Traditionally, Vasseur is in charge of both Ferrari’s technical program and managing its political stances.
It has been reported that Elkann is contemplating appointing a new figure above Vasseur but below himself and Vigna to bridge senior management and the F1 program.
The potential new structure would resemble that of McLaren, where the CEO handles political and financial matters, allowing the team principal to focus on the technical program.
While there are speculations about Vasseur’s future due to Ferrari’s performance, he has received strong support from drivers Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton.
