Ferrari Backs Vasseur Amid Rumors

Ferrari held an emergency press conference to counter rumors about team boss Frédéric Vasseur, reaffirming full support despite the team's podium drought.

Ferrari held an unexpected press conference on Tuesday to address swirling rumors about team boss Frédéric Vasseur. The move comes amid mounting pressure on Vasseur as Ferrari has gone five Grand Prix rounds without a podium finish—a rare occurrence for the prestigious team.

Ferrari's communication director Maria Conti spoke on behalf of Chairman John Elkann, stating unequivocally: "Ferrari's position is completely clear. It will not change. We have faith in Fred and his team. Nothing has changed." Recent comments from former Red Bull boss Christian Horner, who expressed interest in working with Ferrari without requiring an ownership stake, had fueled speculation about Vasseur's future. newsbetting.bond
