Alesi: “Vasseur is doing an excellent job. Ferrari has impressed me this year”

Ferrari, is the glass half full? In all of the three races of the 2026 world championship held so far, Ferrari has been the first pursuer of Mercedes. But the Silver Arrows seemed truly dominant and therefore Ferrari fans find themselves in limbo between disappointment at the large gap that has emerged up to this point and the hope of a possible recovery with the updates arriving from Miami onwards. Alesi charges Ferrari In an interview with RacingNews365, Jean Alesi spoke about the Maranello team, with which he raced between 1991 and 1995: “At the end of last year they asked me how Ferrari had fared and I replied ‘a catastrophe’. I didn’t say anything wrong, I had told the facts. Now however I am very satisfied with how they started the season, they showed up with a real Ferrari. I was really impressed”. Alesi said he particularly appreciated his compatriot Vasseur: “Fred has been doing an excellent job since day one. Being a team principal must be incredibly complex and at Ferrari it’s a completely different story: everything is multiplied by 100%.” The former F1 driver continued: “At the moment there is not a single person who can really make a difference within a Formula 1 structure. Last year Vasseur was very frustrated, because keeping everyone together was difficult. There was a lot of criticism towards him and towards the team and this had compromised the internal balance of the team. Now we are only at the beginning, but it seems that Ferrari is on the right path”, concluded Alesi.
