Ferrari’s statement two weeks before Mattia Binotto left shows Fred Vasseur is far from safe

F1oversteer argues that Ferrari's public statement backing team principal Fred Vasseur does not guarantee his job security, drawing parallels to Mattia Binotto's departure. Ferrari released a statement expressing full confidence in Vasseur amid speculation during the Azerbaijan GP weekend that he could be replaced. However, the writer notes that Ferrari issued a similar denial in November 2022 before Binotto resigned two weeks later.

Vasseur remains under intense pressure as Ferrari drivers Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc have managed only one victory each so far in 2026. While Ted Kravitz reported that Vasseur is secure if Ferrari secures second in the constructors' championship, rumors have linked Christian Horner and Ferrari WEC boss Antonello Coletta to the position.
