F1, Frederic Vasseur is furious: "Mud on"

During free practice for the Canadian Grand Prix, Frederic Vasseur at the microphones of Sky Sports indulged in a heavy rant. The Ferrarista Team Principal commented on the rumors about his possible separation from Ferrari as follows: “The fact is that someone wants the team” evil.

“This is not just about me. By signing for Ferrari I knew I would be very exposed but that is part of the game. It is wrong to talk about Leclerc at Mercedes when he has repeatedly said he wants to focus on our project and to win with Ferrari. It is not right, we are talking about people, personal ambitions, families who can pay the consequences”.

“You have to consider the harm you can do to a driver in terms of concentration and to the’whole working environment of a team. We deserve to be supported, instead mud is thrown at us”

“I am calm about my situation. The problem is not me. I am experienced and vaccinated. When I joined Ferrari I knew what I would be up against, I knew I would always be on the front line and I accepted it. It has been the turn of others before me: Christian Horner the most recent case, yet he is still in place. The problem is not us managers but other team members. Then I get angry. As for me, my contract expires at the end of 2025 and 2026 is near, it is true, but we have time to negotiate and discuss. Do not worry, it will not be a problem” concluded Vasseur.
