Vasseur on his new deal, Ferrari’s progress & Hamilton

Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur has secured a multi-year contract extension, ending recent speculation about his future with the iconic F1 squad. The announcement, made just before the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend, comes after intense Italian press scrutiny, particularly around the Canadian Grand Prix, which suggested his position was under threat. This speculation emerged despite Ferrari currently holding second place in the Constructors' Championship, trailing McLaren but notably ahead of traditional powerhouses Mercedes and Red Bull. Vasseur's extended tenure reflects Ferrari's significant progress, having come closer to a title fight last season than in over a decade, signaling continued stability and ambition for the team under his leadership.
