Fred Vasseur has ‘failed’ to realise the vital task Jean Todt perfected to make Ferrari a success

Fred Vasseur's role as Ferrari's Formula 1 team principal is increasingly questioned as the team struggles to compete for titles. Speculation about his future has intensified, particularly after Ferrari's inability to maintain a championship challenge in 2026, despite Vasseur being given a contract extension last year.

Critics, including veteran journalist Pino Allievi, argue that Vasseur has failed to instil the necessary discipline and understanding of Ferrari's internal dynamics, which were key to Jean Todt's success in the past. With Mercedes leading the constructors' standings and Vasseur's leadership under scrutiny, the pressure mounts as the team approaches the Singapore Grand Prix.
