F1 Ferrari, authoritative confirmation on Mattia Binotto’s replacement

Ferrari to announce new team principal soon: Vasseur clearly in pole, Sauber confirms it

New confirmation is arriving on Frederic Vasseur’s arrival at Ferrari, where he is expected to serve as the new team principal in place of Mattia Binotto.

Peter Sauber, the founder of the team for which Vasseur currently works, did not mince words in an interview with the daily newspaper Blick: “When you get an offer from Ferrari, you have to go … – explained Sauber, who, however, warned Vasseur. “If you know the history of Ferrari, starting with the founder Enzo, you know that team leaders are usually short-lived. The only exception is Todt, who ruled for more than 12 years.”

Vasseur already has the green light from Charles Leclerc, who in a recent interview promoted his arrival: “He would be a good team principal.”
