"Mr Horner is looking for a job" – Frederic Vasseur claps back at Ferrari rumours
Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur says speculation about his future is distracting his team from its job
Ferrari, a motorsport icon in Italy, is facing scrutiny over its leadership amid a dip in performance since the 2026 rules change. The team, currently second in the constructors' championship, has been criticized for execution errors and lacks discipline, particularly after Leclerc's and Hamilton's fourth and sixth-place finishes.
Rumors about team principal Frederic Vasseur's future have intensified, despite his contract extending to 2027. These speculations have been fueled by Italian websites, with Vasseur responding to The Times' Christian Horner, noting the constant questioning is a frustrating distraction. Horner, in his memoir, expressed his desire to have equity in the business as a prerequisite for returning to a leading role, suggesting Ferrari as a team where he would accept non-participation in ownership.
Vasseur, however, remains committed to pushing the team and avoiding distractions, while acknowledging the constant rumors about his position.
