Ferrari Renews Vasseur’s Contract Before Hungarian GP

Ferrari has renewed team principal Fred Vasseur's contract with a multi-year extension, ending speculation about his future amid the team's ongoing winless streak and a significant points deficit to McLaren in the 2025 Formula 1 season. The announcement, made ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix, follows rumors linking Red Bull's Christian Horner as a possible replacement for Vasseur. Vasseur, credited with recruiting Lewis Hamilton and leading Ferrari since 2023, has received public backing from Hamilton and other team members. Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna highlighted the trust and shared ambition supporting the renewal, emphasizing the strong foundation built over the past 30 months. The extension comes as Ferrari prepares for major F1 regulation changes set for 2026. The move signals Ferrari's commitment to stability and long-term planning as they aim to compete at the top of Formula 1.
