Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur will miss the Austrian Grand Prix due to “personal reasons,” with Jerome d’Ambrosio stepping in as deputy team principal.
Vasseur’s absence follows a recent clash with the Italian media during the Canadian Grand Prix weekend, addressing the pressure on the team to perform in F1 2025.
Italian publications questioned the team’s performance and the impact of engineer Loïc Serra, who joined Ferrari from Mercedes.
Vasseur emphasized the need for a clean working environment and expressed frustration with the constant media scrutiny in Italy.
While no further details were provided on Vasseur’s absence, the team confirmed his return home and cited d’Ambrosio as his replacement for the race weekend.
