  "account": "Ferrari have reaffirmed their support for team principal Frederic Vasseur amid speculation surrounding his future. The statement was made during a brief media call by Ferrari chief communication officer Maria Conti, who spoke on behalf of chairman John Elkann and CEO Benedetto Vigna. Conti stated that Ferrari's position remains unchanged and that they are confident in Vasseur and his team. Despite speculation, Mercedes and Red Bull still lead the constructors' championship, with Ferrari currently in second place but 160 points behind the leaders. Vasseur expressed frustration over the constant focus on his future, emphasizing that his team is focused on fighting for the second position in the championship. Former Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has shown interest in joining Ferrari, but Vasseur believes Horner would be a distraction. Vasseur joined Ferrari at the start of 2023 after Mattia Binotto's departure.",
