via f1oversteer.comJohn Elkann has already broken 2026 promise to Ferrari fans but Fred Vasseur could pay the priceFerrari chairman John Elkann's promise of winning a title by 2026 has not materialised, as the team has failed to secure either the drivers' or constructors' championships. This failure marks a continued drought for Ferrari, which has not won a championship since 2008, and raises questions about the team's future direction and competitiveness under current regulations. While Elkann's confidence in the team's potential has not been realised, speculation surrounds team principal Fred Vasseur's position. Despite support from drivers like Charles Leclerc, Vasseur may become the scapegoat for the team's shortcomings, with suggestions that Christian Horner could be a candidate to replace him.
