Fred Vasseur addresses Ferrari mass exit rumours and new ‘power’: "This is the reality of the situation"
Reports in Italian media claim F1’s most famous team is facing a mass exodus of key personnel amid Ferrari’s lacklustre start to the new season and apparent 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:discontent at the leadership style of CEO Benedetto🦄 Vigna.
David Sanchez reportedly offered his resignation from the position of head ꦡof vehicle concept in order to join McLaren𝕴, while racing director Laurent Mekies is rumoured to have already received offers from Alpine, F1 and the FIA after signalling his intention to quit.
Reacting to the speculation, new Fe𒆙rrari t🐻eam principal Vasseur told : “It's inevitable.
“There are people who were very close to Mattia and who prefer to leave, which doesn't bother me. And t༺here are others whꦚo may have feared for a moment for their future.”
Vasseur also dismissed suggestions he has not been entrusted with the level of responsibility he w🌠as promised at Ferrari.
"I have the means and the power of decision that I have never 📖had elsewhere," he insiste🐎d. "This is the reality of the situation!"
There were reports 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc had 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:demanded a crisis meeting with Ferrari president John Elkann at Maranello to seek reassurances after he retired from the Bahrain Grand Prix with an engine failure.&nꦆbsp;
Bu꧅t Vasseur stressed such meetings are nothing out of the ordinary.
"We spoke with the drivers, Elkann and Vigna after winter testiꦰng, and we will all speak again together afཧter Imola,” he said. “These meetings are planned.”
And Vasseur has been left baffled by criticism of Ferrari’s competitiveness in Bah𓆏rain after the team lagged behind Red Bull and Aston Mart𓆏in.
"I find it difficult to🎐 understand why the team becomes a target after only one race," he said.
"As far as the correlation between the🍒 simulation and the track is concerned, we are in line.
"That's why I asked everyone to stay focused on performance and find solutions to reliability issues, because the championshi🧜p is long.
"Just because you don't win the first one doesn't mean you're o🎃ffside. Bahrain was bad in some ways, and good in others!"
