A shocking piece of news hits the Ferrari world: Fred Vasseur’s replacement would already be ready to take over at the end of 2025.
Rumors surrounding Fred Vasseur’s future at Ferrari have intensified in recent days. According to the Italian daily newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, the name of the potential successor who would take on the role of Team Principal has already emerged. The news of a possible change at the end of this season was reported by journalist Luigi Perna.
During the Canadian Grand Prix weekend, there was a minor clash between the Italian press and Fred Vasseur following reports involving the entire team. The news published today about his likely departure does nothing to help the team’s internal stability.
The name of the potential replacement
The person reportedly being considered to replace Fred Vasseur is Antonello Coletta, the head of Ferrari’s WEC project. This rumor had already circulated in recent days, but today La Gazzetta dello Sport confirmed it more firmly. There’s no official confirmation yet, but the rumors are gaining momentum.
Together with Antonello Coletta, Ferrari has won the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the third consecutive time and, as of now, has claimed victory in all World Endurance Championship races in 2025. The Italian’s profile is undoubtedly what the team needs, but it remains uncertain whether the leadership change will happen.
If this move goes through, Ferrari would once again abandon continuity and make a change at the top during a sensitive period. Last weekend, both drivers expressed their desire to continue with Fred Vasseur and maintain belief in the project heading into 2026. We’ll see in the coming days if the Scuderia will take a clear stance by denying the report.
