Mercedes Formula 1 chief Toto Wolff is urging Ferrari’s followers to give Fred Vasseur, his counterpart at Ferrari, enough time to make improvements and turn the team around.
Vasseur has faced criticism in his third season as Ferrari’s team boss for the team’s perceived lack of progress, with fans and media in Italy expressing disappointment over the team’s performance.
Despite Ferrari not being in a winning position in 2025, being challenged only at Monaco, they are still fighting to defend their second position in the championship.
Rumors about Vasseur’s future at Ferrari surfaced, but both Ferrari and Vasseur, along with drivers Leclerc and Hamilton, have denied these speculations.
Wolff emphasized the importance of giving senior leadership time to make changes, drawing parallels to past successes at Ferrari and expressing his admiration for Vasseur’s abilities as a racing manager.
Acknowledging the pressures that come with leading Ferrari, Wolff suggested that Vasseur should embrace the scrutiny and passion of Italian media and fans, highlighting the need for resilience in the face of both praise and criticism.
