Ex-Ferrari boss Stefano Domenicali backs Fred Vasseur: ‘Let him work in peace’
Former Ferrari team principal and current F1 boss Stefano Domenicali has voiced his support for Frederic Vasseur amid rumors of his job being on the line prior to the Canadian Grand Prix.
Ferrari’s challenging start to the 2025 F1 season, being nearly 200 points behind McLaren in the constructors’ standings after just nine races, has heightened the scrutiny on Vasseur.
Despite Ferrari’s difficulties, including limited podium finishes and underwhelming performances, both Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton have publicly defended Vasseur’s leadership qualities.
Domenicali, a key figure in Ferrari’s past successes as team principal, believes Vasseur should be given the space and support to refocus and guide the team back to championship contention.
With new upgrades on the horizon for Ferrari in the upcoming races, Domenicali emphasizes the importance of allowing Vasseur to work without undue pressure in order to facilitate a potential resurgence for the team in the future.
