Giorgio Terruzzi opened his commentary with a phrase that perfectly summarizes the mood: “The only positive thing about Vasseur: he stopped laughing.” According to the journalist, the team principal has shown excessive lightness in recent months, especially in front of modest results and unfulfilled promises.
Terruzzi attacks Fred Vasseur and Ferrari management
The most critical point concerns Fred Vasseur’s words after the race. The Frenchman declared that Ferrari stopped developing the SF-25 back in April. This statement immediately triggered Giorgio Terruzzi’s reaction: “Now he comes out saying they stopped developing the car in April. Who does he think he’s dealing with?”
The journalist reminded listeners that all season, the team had talked about upcoming developments, essential upgrades, and packages meant to improve the car. “Every race they said they would bring updates, and now he comes out saying they finished developing the car in April.”
Giorgio Terruzzi then attacked another part of Fred Vasseur’s statement. Ferrari allegedly shifted all resources to next year’s car, abandoning development of the current machine. For Giorgio Terruzzi, this idea is unacceptable: “But really, a team like Ferrari can’t work on two cars at the same time?!”
The journalist called this explanation unconvincing for a team with Ferrari’s resources, structure, and history. “Enough! Nobody else is getting angry, and I’m the one who’s angry!” he concluded, emphasizing his frustration over a narrative that contradicts statements made in previous months.
Giorgio Terruzzi’s words come at a time when Ferrari is at the center of criticism for both results and technical management. Qatar exposed a car struggling significantly, far from the pace of the leaders and unable to respond effectively throughout the weekend.
Fred Vasseur’s declarations, rather than reassuring, have fueled doubts and controversy. Terruzzi gave voice to the discontent of fans and enthusiasts who cannot accept the idea of a season abandoned so early. The end of the championship and preparations for Abu Dhabi will not change one clear truth: Ferrari leaves Qatar in a full technical and emotional crisis, with both internal and external debate continuing to grow without signs of a truce.
With only Abu Dhabi left to salvage something from 2025, the focus inside the garage is already shifting to next year – but for a huge section of the fanbase, the damage has been done. Ferrari leaves Qatar deep in technical and emotional crisis, and the criticism, both inside Italy and beyond, shows no sign of letting up.
