Vasseur: “I don’t feel at risk, I talk to Elkann and Vigna every day, they give enormous support and know everything about the company”

The Ferrari team principal is risking his future Compared to 2025, Ferrari has already achieved a stage success in Barcelona in 2026, the first in red for Lewis Hamilton who will also remain with Ferrari in 2027. The SF-26 has shown that it has great potential to the point that at Montmelò it was the best of the lot. The work group led by Loic Serra has produced an excellent single-seater from a suspension, mechanical and chassis point of view, the only thing missing is a power unit worthy of the world title objective. Frederic Vasseur underlined that the necessary improvements will arrive in the engine only in 2027. The team principal of the Scuderia di Maranello believes that his ‘place’ on the pit wall is not at risk: “Am I at risk? No and I don’t think like that. I’m thinking about giving my best this weekend, in the coming months and years. I have daily contact with John Elkann and Benedetto Vigna, they give enormous support and know everything about the company”, said Vasseur in an interview with Corriere of the evening. “We are in one of the most competitive sports, and we are in the mix with Mercedes, Red Bull and McLaren – he added – the most important thing is to push everyone in the same direction, in good times and in bad times, to react as a team. The trust of the top management is important for every person in the company which is a fundamental element in contributing to the performance. Compared to last year we have 62 points more, but my job is to always ask for more”.
