Ex-F1 driver Jean Alesi believes the prancing horse can return to its former glory with Frederic Vasseur at the helm.
Former Ferrari driver Jean Alesi believes Frederic Vasseur is the right person to guide the Italian team back to the top of Formula 1. Alesi emphasizes the need for consistency at Ferrari, pointing out that the team has not won a drivers’ championship since 2007 and a constructors’ championship since 2008. Alesi draws parallels between Vasseur and the successful era led by Michael Schumacher and Jean Todt at Ferrari. He expresses hope that Ferrari’s engine specialists can deliver a competitive power unit for the upcoming 2026 regulations. Alesi believes that Ferrari, despite being competitive, can achieve greater success and potentially partner with McLaren to challenge Red Bull in the championship. With two wins in the first eight races of the season, Alesi is optimistic about Ferrari’s prospects and suggests that Red Bull might face challenges without the influential figure of Adrian Newey.
