With the Miami weekend looming, Scuderia Ferrari is heading towards a crucial stage to evaluate the performance of the SF-24. In a recent interview, Ferrari team boss Frederic Vasseur spoke about the relationship he shares with Charles Leclerc. Ferrari, after dark years and relatively low success expectations, seems to have embarked on an upward trajectory with Frederic Vasseur’s arrival at the top of the Ferrari Racing Division. The French manager proved able to unite the team and lead it towards a brighter future. Upon his arrival at Ferrari back in December 2022, Frederic Vasseur knew few people within the team, one of them being Charles Leclerc, bound by a special relationship.
Upon his arrival in Maranello, the French manager found a team in need of “restructuring” with several shortcomings in the technical departments. The men of the Scuderia found in Fred Vasseur a man capable of reacting and guiding the team in the right direction. Under his guidance, the Ferrari technical department has been given a free hand, and under the skilled hands of Enrico Cardile and Enrico Gualtieri, the Italian side has managed to overturn a drastic situation like that of the 2023 Formula 1 championship. In a few months, the successor to the SF-23 has taken shape and corrected the mistakes made by the previous management.
The 2024 car is currently the second force in the championship and is ready to introduce substantial updates in the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at the Imola circuit. The 2024 Formula 1 season has seen many other off-track twists, indeed, on February 1st, we all learned that Lewis Hamilton will be Charles Leclerc’s teammate starting with the 2025 F1 campaign. Furthermore, in recent weeks, there has been a substantial increase in rumors of a possible arrival of Adrian Newey in Maranello. An arrival that seems more and more certain, especially after his departure from Red Bull Racing.
Moves that elevate Frederic Vasseur to the true savior of the Scuderia and with a Ferrari increasingly rich in important figures. The most important for the French manager is Charles Leclerc, a driver he has known for many years and about whom he recently expressed himself in an interview with French newspaper L’Equipe.
“Charles is an excellent compromise in everything. We immediately click, we don’t need to talk much, we understand each other instantly. Sometimes just a look is enough to understand his state of mind, whether he’s happy or not. Actually, let me correct myself, I think he’s excellent in everything.” – the Ferrari team principal revealed.
Frederic Vasseur’s comments are praise for the talent of the Scuderia, which now represents the true future of Ferrari.
