Fred Vasseur’s outside business interests and commitments under scrutiny amid Ferrari pressure

Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur is facing growing scrutiny regarding his outside business ventures amid ongoing internal pressure at Maranello. Journalists have raised questions about whether his external commitments create potential distractions from his primary leadership role, alongside reported tensions with Ferrari chief executive Benedetto Vigna.

Vasseur remains involved with multiple enterprises, including Spark Racing Technology, simulator specialist AOTech, investment firm SWI Group, and junior racing powerhouse ART Grand Prix.
