Ferrari F1 chief makes telling visit as pressure piles on boss Vasseur
Ferrari chairman John Elkann’s absence from the Canadian Grand Prix has sparked interest in the Italian media, with pressure mounting on F1 team principal Fred Vasseur. Ahead of the race, rumors swirled that Vasseur might be replaced based on Ferrari’s performance in Montreal, Austria, and Silverstone. Though Vasseur denied these reports and received support from drivers Hamilton and Leclerc, speculation continues in the Italian media, with attention turning to Antonello Coletta, head of Ferrari’s endurance racing division. Coletta’s success has led to suggestions that he could step into Vasseur’s role; meanwhile, Ferrari’s dominance in endurance racing contrasts sharply with their struggling F1 season. Despite challenges, Vasseur remains focused on leading the team forward with the support of his drivers and a positive team atmosphere.
