Ferrari’s team principal, Frederic Vasseur, has been prominently featured in news headlines throughout this season. His drivers, Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton, have confirmed their unwavering support for him.

The 2025 season has presented challenges for Vasseur’s team. While last December saw them vying with McLaren for the constructors’ championship in Abu Dhabi, they fell short on the final day. However, the current season has brought a different dynamic.

With only five races remaining this year, Ferrari has yet to secure a Grand Prix victory and is locked in a battle with Mercedes and Red Bull for the second spot. McLaren has already clinched the teams’ title with several races to spare.

Adding complexity to Ferrari’s campaign is the ongoing speculation surrounding Vasseur’s future. Despite signing a multi-year contract in July, rumors have emerged suggesting that Ferrari may pursue former Red Bull boss, Christian Horner.

Despite the rumors, Vasseur maintains the support of Ferrari chairman John Elkann. Elkann expressed full confidence in Vasseur and the team ahead of the recent United States Grand Prix, emphasizing the importance of teamwork and dedication to achieving success on the track.

Both Leclerc and Hamilton stand by Vasseur, citing their long-standing relationship with him and expressing faith in his leadership. They dismiss rumors and affirm their alignment with Vasseur’s vision for elevating Ferrari’s performance.

In addition to Vasseur, other Ferrari figures have been embroiled in gossip. Leclerc was tentatively linked to Mercedes, a claim he refuted, while Hamilton’s future in F1 came under scrutiny after his comments following the Hungarian Grand Prix.
