Vasseur’s explanations
After the many rumors that have been chasing each other in recent days on the Ferrari and on the future of several members of the Scuderia, between Monday and Wednesday Frederic Vasseur wanted to clarify what is happening in the team. The Maranello team principal and general manager clarified that no key figure will leave the team, including both sports director Laurent Mekies and chassis manager Enrico Cardile in the speech, and specified that he has an excellent relationship with CEO Benedetto Vineyard. The statements of the transalpine manager have so calmed the waters around the team in view of the important Jeddah race scheduled for next Sunday.
The answer evaded
As mentioned, the Ferrari Muretto’s number one assured that he was in a relationship “constant and excellent” with Benedetto Vigna. Vasseur branded it as “gossip” the voices of disagreements between them, specifying “to discuss any topic” and to have established a “very positive collaboration“.
From the columns of the Sports Courierthe journalist Fulvio Solms explained that the answer to the question asked (“Who is the boss of the team, you or Vigna?”) was not convincing and the reply given by Vasseur did not clarify “whether today Ferrari is a team as it has always been and as the others are, with full powers attributed to the team principal, or if the CEO constantly invades the field”. The colleague of the Roman newspaper observed that it would be precisely this unresolved issue that would determine “the irritation of top technicians” of Maranello.
Being Ferrari, indiscretions and moles
Leo Turrinilong-time journalist of the Rest of the Pug and profound connoisseur of the internal dynamics of Ferrari, wanted to analyze Vasseur’s press conference in a very frank way. The well-known face of Sky Sports drew attention to the facets of the meaning of the term “Being Ferrari”, underlining how the French engineer cannot be surprised “from the enormous pressure surrounding the team and of the inevitable immense disappointment that accompanies a disastrous debut like Sakhir’s“, adding in rather colorful terms: “If you bullshit in a Ferrari, an instant later you are prosecuted on the web, on social networks, on TV, on the radio, in the newspapers” and continuing: “AND it is useless to complain about the flurry of rumors/inferences/indiscretions. It’s not that Ferrari has an army of moles. It’s just that Ferrari is at the center of the racing universe. And it always will be“. In conclusion, in a decidedly heartfelt way: “Being Ferrari means doing away with the bullshit of the “cooperative”, with the beatings of the horizontal structure, with a communication that can’t handle even a draft. But how the fuck is it possible that Ferrari does not have an answer, right or wrong, for the thousands of nonsense that tell the present?”.
