Ferrari F1 boss given decisive verdict amid fierce criticism
One of Fred Vasseur’s F1 rivals has defended him amidst growing speculation about his future at Ferrari.
Vasseur took over as team principal in 2023 but has not been able to bring success to the iconic team.
Despite high expectations after a close title fight in 2024, Ferrari’s chances this season seem slim with less than half the races completed.
James Vowles, Williams boss, praised Vasseur’s leadership and resilience in the face of criticism.
Vowles believes Vasseur is the best person to lead Ferrari back to the top of Formula 1, despite the team’s lack of wins in 2025.
Ferrari, with Leclerc and Hamilton, currently trail McLaren and Mercedes in the constructors’ championship.
