The future of Ferrari team boss Fred Vasseur was subject to major rumours in recent weeks amid a difficult on-track period.
Charles Leclerc believes Ferrari is unique in terms of fan and media scrutiny, with successes and challenges standing out more than with other teams. Ferrari has had a tough season without a win after 19 rounds, a step back from narrowly missing out on the constructors’ championship last year. Despite speculation about team principal Fred Vasseur being replaced by Christian Horner, Ferrari chairman John Elkann expressed faith in Vasseur’s leadership. Leclerc, in his seventh season with Ferrari, is accustomed to such rumors and emphasizes the team’s focus on what’s important. Despite the pressure, Ferrari remains the most successful team in F1 history and is closely watched, especially in Italy, where expectations are high. Leclerc stresses the need for Ferrari to manage both the praise and criticism effectively without letting it affect their performance.
