Due to personal reasons, Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur will not be present at the Austrian Grand Prix on Sunday and will be replaced by Jerome d’Ambrosio.
Vasseur’s absence follows recent criticism he directed at the Italian media during the Canadian Grand Prix, emphasizing the importance of treating individuals with respect.
Reports regarding pressure on Ferrari’s team members to perform have surfaced given their underwhelming performance in the 2025 F1 season so far.
The impact of Vasseur engineer Loic Serra, recruited from Mercedes, has also been a topic of debate in Italian publications.
Despite Vasseur’s contract with Ferrari ending this season, the team has not provided further details on his sudden departure, while Leclerc and Hamilton are set to start the race in promising positions.
