“I will maintain a good relationship with Toto Wolff” – this was the comment of Fred Vasseur when asked about the Mercedes team principal and the 2023 Formula One season during a long interview.
In fact, in an interview for the Italian version of Motorsport.com, the new Ferrari team principal recounted some of the key aspects of his new experience in Maranello ahead of the 2023 championship, which could prove to be an enormous opportunity or a bitter pill for the career of the former Alfa Romeo boss.
It is no longer any surprise that the team principals of the Italian side are always subjected to pressure and a lot of critical observation or examination especially from the Italian media. As a result, it is definitely not an easy role to cover. And that’s what Frederic Vasseur talked about as well as having his say regarding his relationship with the Mercedes team principal.
In 2023, in fact, Ferrari’s main rival, in addition to Red Bull, could be precisely the Mercedes Formula 1 team which seems to be able to recover the performance gap after a difficult F1 season. Here’s what he said in the interview.
Fred Vasseur: “I will maintain a good relationship with Toto”
“I know I will continue to have a good relationship with Toto Wolff. I will keep it and nothing will change. I believe that to maintain good relationships you need maturity and I think we both have it. We will fight on the track, we will fight with the FIA and the stewards but we will not stop having a peaceful relationship. I think we must all remain on very good terms because it is important and useful for Formula One.” – the French manager pointed out.
