Ferrari says it is backing Frederic Vasseur as its Formula 1 team principal, addressing speculation about his future. The move follows comments attributed to former Red Bull team principal Christian Horner, who says he would be interested in joining Ferrari.
Multiple outlets report that Ferrari’s message is delivered through the team’s communications leadership amid the ongoing discussion of potential leadership changes. The Guyana Chronicle adds that a senior Ferrari communications figure, Maria Conti, uses a brief, hastily arranged media call to convey the statement on behalf of chairman John Elkann.
While the reports agree on Ferrari’s support for Vasseur and the existence of the Horner-led speculation, they differ mainly in framing. BBC Sport focuses on the confirmation itself in the context of Horner’s interest, while the Guyana Chronicle provides more detail on how the statement is communicated and the role of Ferrari’s leadership in making it public.
