The “Frederic Vasseur saga” continues to dominate the headlines. With Ferrari’s less-than-stellar results in recent races, there’s a lot of talk about a possible shake-up at the top of the Scuderia. The finger is being pointed at Frederic Vasseur.

In the F1 paddock, it’s the talk of the town, with Christian Horner, former Red Bull team principal, even going so far as to put himself forward as a candidate to take Frederic Vasseur’s place.

This media storm has prompted a clear statement from Ferrari, which has made it known that it has full confidence in Fred Vasseur and his team. In short, there is no intention of intervening to change the team’s current structure.

The priority, according to sources in Maranello, is to shield the entire team from external rumors and focus solely on the remaining races to complete the current season. There is no “Frederic Vasseur controversy,” but rather a shared desire to emerge from this difficult period (five races without a podium finish for the Prancing Horse), starting with the next race—the Bahrain Grand Prix (scheduled for this weekend).
