Benedetto Vigna, Chief Executive Officer of Ferrari, has commented on the recent contract extension of Fred Vasseur, clarifying the reasons behind this important decision. The key concept driving this choice is continuity. This explains why Ferrari decided to continue under the leadership of Fred Vasseur through a contract renewal that, according to CEO Benedetto Vigna, is founded on shared ambitions and aligned long-term projects. Furthermore, there is a clear intention to avoid disrupting the team structure just months before the introduction of the new technical regulations.
Ferrari understands how crucial it is to be fully prepared for the major milestone of the 2026 Formula 1 season. After nearly twenty years since their last World Championship title, the Scuderia Ferrari of Maranello cannot afford another setback. Therefore, it is essential to place trust in those who, over the past three years, have laid the groundwork to bring the team back to the top of Formula 1.
