Where Next? Ferrari SACKS Team Principal Fred Vasseur Over H…read more
In a dramatic twist within the Formula 1 landscape, Scuderia Ferrari has officially sacked Team Principal Frédéric Vasseur following intense internal disagreements and ongoing tensions behind the scenes at Maranello.
The announcement was made early this morning, with Ferrari citing a “breakdown in alignment on team vision and competitive strategy” as the reason for Vasseur’s sudden dismissal. This move comes less than two seasons into Vasseur’s tenure, a period marked by inconsistent performances, strategic blunders, and growing frustration among Ferrari’s senior leadership.
Sources close to the team suggest that heated clashes over driver priorities, technical development, and Ferrari’s long-term direction ultimately sealed Vasseur’s fate. The dismissal leaves Ferrari without a confirmed replacement just as the sport prepares for major regulatory changes heading into the 2026 season.
Speculation is already mounting about who could take over the high-pressure role. Red Bull’s Christian Horner has been linked as a surprise candidate, while Ferrari insiders have also hinted at potential internal promotions or a bold attempt to lure a top executive from another rival team.
For Vasseur, the future remains uncertain — though with his vast experience and solid reputation in the paddock, a return to another F1 outfit cannot be ruled out.
As Ferrari enters yet another period of transition, fans and rivals alike are asking: who can finally bring stability and championship glory back to Maranello?
