‘I’m grateful for trust Ferrari continues to place in me’
Scuderia yet to win a grand prix this season
Ferrari have ended speculation about the future of their team principal, Fred Vasseur, by agreeing a new, multi-year contract with the Frenchman. The deal closes the door on belief that the team were considering a move for Christian Horner.
Vasseur, who was instrumental in bringing Lewis Hamilton to Ferrari, has been under pressure with the Scuderia underperforming in what was expected to be a strong season. The team are yet to win a grand prix this year.
Vasseur joined Ferrari in 2023, replacing Mattia Binotto, and has been central in implementing an overhaul of the team, which has not won a drivers’ title since 2007 and a constructors’ championship since 2008. The team secured five wins last season and finished second in the constructors’ championship, leading to high expectations for Hamilton’s first season.
