Fred Vasseur gets appointed as Ferrari's new team principal

After months of speculation and rumours, it has been confirmed today that Alfa Romeo Sauber team principal Fred Vasseur will be departing the team and joining Ferrari as their new team principal and general manager. Today we got to witness a crazy silly season and it wasn’t because of the F1 drivers but due to the team principal’s instead.

After being at the helm of Ferrari for 4 years, it was clear to the Italian squad that change was imminent. With Max Verstappen and Red Bull stealing the show in the 2022 season, Ferrari was left with no championships yet again. After working with the team for multiple years, Binotto wasn’t able to bring title glory to the Scuderia so this situation was imminent.

Vasseur on the other hand has the ability to work calmly and bring in the results. The fact that he has worked with Charles Leclerc during his early F1 years at Sauber is a big plus point. Might give you and idea that Charles must be the one to have recommended his old team principal for the most coveted job in Formula 1. Here is how the fans reacted to the announcement.

Ferrari had a crazy 2022 season which saw them from finishing 1-2 in the opening round to losing the championship to Max Verstappen a month before the final race. With Fred Vasseur in place to take the reigns, maybe things will change for the better at the Scuderia. The 2023 season will determine who prepared the best.
