Ferrari is enduring a difficult F1 season with recent reports from Italy suggesting team boss Fred Vasseur is under pressure to perform.
Former Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has expressed his support for Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur, who is currently facing criticism due to Ferrari’s struggles in the ongoing F1 season. Horner emphasized the importance of stability in a management structure for achieving success, a quality potentially lacking at Ferrari. Horner underscored his belief in Vasseur’s capabilities as a manager, attributing Ferrari’s challenges to the pressure and high expectations associated with leading a national team. He noted that establishing the right processes, people, and culture takes time and effort, with no quick fixes in the competitive F1 environment. Horner’s departure from Red Bull after two decades was seen as a setback for the stable management structure he helped build, resulting in multiple championship victories for the team. Despite the challenges, Horner believes in Vasseur’s potential and the need for collective effort to steer Ferrari towards their objectives amidst national expectations.
