Ferrari Extends Team Principal Fred Vasseur Contract

Ferrari has confirmed a multi-year contract extension for team principal Fred Vasseur, ending speculation about his future at the helm. Since joining in early 2023, Vasseur has overseen a rebuilding phase and helped secure key driver Lewis Hamilton, while steadily improving team performance, though Ferrari remains well behind dominant McLaren this season. Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna emphasized trust in Vasseur's leadership and the importance of continuity as the team prepares for significant 2026 technical regulation changes. Despite early doubts and rumors of replacement, Vasseur’s contract renewal reflects Ferrari’s commitment to building on the strong foundations laid over the past 30 months. The extension aims to provide stability and focus as Ferrari works to return to championship-winning form, with drivers like Charles Leclerc showing promising results amid ongoing challenges. Vasseur himself described the renewal as both recognition and a challenge to continue progressing and delivering consistent results.
