In a stunning announcement that has rocked the Formula 1 world, Ferrari has officially confirmed the dismissal of Team Principal Frédéric Vasseur following escalating internal disputes and reported disagreements over the team’s strategic direction. The decision marks a sudden and controversial end to Vasseur’s tenure at the helm of the legendary Italian outfit.
Vasseur, who joined Ferrari in 2023 to replace Mattia Binotto, was seen as a stabilizing figure tasked with reviving the team’s championship hopes. However, behind the scenes, tensions reportedly grew between the Frenchman and senior Ferrari management over technical decisions, driver management, and future planning—particularly amid the anticipated 2026 regulation changes.
In a brief and carefully worded statement, Ferrari said: “We can confirm that Frédéric Vasseur is no longer serving as Team Principal of Scuderia Ferrari. We thank him for his dedication and leadership during his time with the team and wish him success in his future endeavors.”
Sources close to Maranello suggest that a power struggle over control of Ferrari’s F1 operations played a key role in the dismissal, with several high-ranking figures unhappy with the team’s inconsistent performances and lack of clear progress. Vasseur’s exit now throws Ferrari into yet another period of transition as the team scrambles to find a suitable replacement before the next season.
Fans and F1 analysts alike have expressed concern over Ferrari’s continued leadership instability, which has plagued the team in recent years. With star driver Charles Leclerc already signed long-term and Lewis Hamilton set to join in 2025, Ferrari’s next move will be crucial to determining whether the Scuderia can finally return to title contention—or fall deeper into chaos.
