Ferrari’s Vigna on Vasseur and fake news: “There is only one reality”

Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna has publicly supported team principal Fred Vasseur amid growing speculation about his position. Vigna highlighted the need to distinguish between verified facts and unverified opinions, especially in the age of social media, where misinformation can spread rapidly. He recounted an incident where he encountered false claims about his relationship with Vasseur while dining together, underscoring the disconnect between reality and rumour.

Vigna acknowledged that Ferrari's performance this season has not met expectations and admitted that their rivals have done a better job. He stressed the importance of focusing on improving the car rather than succumbing to external pressures from speculation. By addressing the situation directly, Vigna believes they have successfully quelled the rumours surrounding Vasseur, allowing the team to concentrate on their technical challenges.
