Ferrari has pushed back against mounting speculation over Fred Vasseur’s position as the team’s F1 boss, insisting there are no doubts about his leadership.
Ferrari has unequivocally defended Fred Vasseur’s position as the team’s Formula 1 boss amid growing speculation, affirming confidence in his leadership despite the team’s challenging start to the 2025 season behind McLaren. Charles Leclerc’s podium finishes have boosted Ferrari to second place in the standings, but they still lag 197 points behind McLaren. Reports suggesting Vasseur’s potential replacement by Antonello Coletta have been refuted by Ferrari, dismissing them as mere speculation. While Coletta and Red Bull’s Christian Horner are seen as possible successors, Vasseur’s future at Ferrari remains uncertain despite his team’s ongoing quest for a first season win. Lewis Hamilton’s Sprint Race victory in Shanghai has yet to translate into a main race podium finish, leaving Ferrari’s performance in question as Hamilton navigates challenges in his new F1 journey with the team.
