In what could be a major turning point for Scuderia Ferrari, new evidence has emerged casting serious doubt on the future of Team Principal Frédéric Vasseur. Just days after Ferrari’s underwhelming performance at the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix, sources close to the paddock report that internal documents, leaked performance reviews, and high-level conversations have raised significant concerns about Vasseur’s leadership—and his ability to steer Ferrari back to championship contention.
The revelations, which first surfaced through an anonymous leak to Italian motorsport media, allegedly include internal team evaluations that highlight growing discontent among senior engineers and drivers. These reports suggest that strategic errors, inconsistent car development decisions, and poor communication between departments have created a widening rift within the Ferrari garage.
The most damaging detail involves a now-leaked email exchange between Vasseur and Ferrari’s executive board, in which his long-term project plan was reportedly labeled “unrealistic and lacking competitive urgency.” Insiders claim this was the tipping point that prompted Ferrari president John Elkann to initiate an internal review of the team’s 2025 performance strategy.
Adding fuel to the fire, a recent meeting between Elkann and former Ferrari Team Principal Mattia Binotto was spotted by Italian paparazzi in Milan, igniting speculation of a possible leadership change. While Ferrari has yet to make an official statement, multiple sources suggest that Vasseur’s position could be under immediate threat—especially if the team fails to deliver improved results in the upcoming European leg of the F1 season.
Ferrari fans have taken to social media to express frustration, with trending hashtags like #VasseurOut, #SaveFerrari, and #BringBackBinotto gaining traction across platforms. Others are defending Vasseur, pointing out the historical instability of Ferrari’s leadership and urging the team to give him more time to implement his vision.
Since joining Ferrari in early 2023, Vasseur has faced immense pressure to restore the team’s former glory. Despite flashes of potential and strong individual race performances, the team has struggled to maintain consistent pace with Red Bull, Mercedes, and McLaren. Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz have voiced subtle criticisms throughout the season, further hinting at internal tension.
