Briatore tipped for SHOCK Ferrari move as replacement rumours swirl
Alpine F1 advisor Flavio Briatore is rumored to make a surprising move to Ferrari amid mounting pressure on the Italian team.
Speculation about the potential replacement of team principal Fred Vasseur has intensified, with reports suggesting a change could happen before the next season.
Italian politician Ignazio La Russa suggests that Ferrari’s issues run deeper than just a managerial change and sees Briatore as a viable candidate to bring new energy to the team.
Despite Briatore’s controversial past, including his role in the 2008 ‘Crashgate’ scandal, he is considered a skilled manager who could potentially make a difference at Ferrari.
Vasseur, who has faced questions about his future, remains supported by drivers Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc, but Ferrari’s struggles this season have raised doubts about their championship hopes.
With Ferrari currently sitting third in the constructors’ standings, Briatore’s potential arrival could signal a new chapter for the team as they seek to reposition themselves among the frontrunners in Formula 1.
