Charles Leclerc has repeatedly stood firmly behind Frédéric Vasseur, especially when rumors about the future of Ferrari’s team principal started circulating. With his contract renewed, Fred Vasseur is more secure than ever at the helm of the team, with his sole focus on bringing the Scuderia back to victory.

Charles and Fred

During the 2025 Mexico GP weekend, Charles Leclerc spoke again about the many speculations surrounding Ferrari: “Our support for Fred comes from the heart. Lewis and I speak from the heart, saying what we believe is right. I think it is very important to state that these rumors are unfounded. Both Lewis and I are aligned and convinced that Fred is the right person to lead us to the top.” He added: “The rumors? At Ferrari, this is how it goes. I have been in the team since 2019, and these things are always exaggerated.”

Fred Vasseur’s response

During the traditional Friday FIA press conference, team principal Frédéric Vasseur was asked to comment on Charles Leclerc’s statements: “Being united feels great. We have worked as a team from day one. Certainly, this is not an easy season, but that is the life of a Formula 1 team. The best reaction we can have is to work together and push everyone in the same direction. When you experience a weekend like Austin, it feels great, because it started off difficult, but we recovered well working together—from the track to Maranello. The fact that both drivers are united and pushing in the same direction is very important.” – the French manager concluded.
