The AUDACIOUS move that could see Lewis Hamilton become Ferrari team principal
Currently, Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc seem to be running the show at Ferrari, taking charge of strategy and operational decisions like true team principals. Hamilton’s recent involvement in key meetings and Leclerc’s control over qualifying tactics raise questions about Fred Vasseur’s purpose as the team’s official leader. It almost seems like Hamilton could easily transition into the role of team principal given his hands-on approach and influence within the team. This shift in dynamics begs the question of whether Vasseur deserved his contract extension, especially if the drivers are forced to step in and take charge. Despite the success on the track, the internal structure at Ferrari appears to be in flux with the drivers assuming more leadership responsibilities than expected.
