Ferrari’s emotional nature needs ‘cold-blooded’ Vasseur, Leclerc insists

Both Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton voiced their support for keeping the Frenchman on board at the Scuderia.

"He definitely changed the way we are working on different things. Where Fred made the biggest difference is his vision, his overall vision. This, he embedded it into the team and that's very important," Leclerc said about what did Vasseur bring to the Italian team, after he replaced Mattia Binotto at the helm.

"I feel that the beauty of Ferrari is the fact that emotionally it's always intense, but it can also harm us in some ways, especially when tougher times arrive. Fred has always had very cold blood in those moments and helped the team to be a little bit more, lucid. And that’s the biggest thing Fred has brought to the team," the Monegasque driver continued.

There is another layer of Vasseur's personality that helps the Scuderia. "He's definitely very funny. I'm sure it plays a part in the team. We've got some very funny guys within the team as well. However, we are obviously here to work. It helps. Whenever we have team dinners, we are having a good time, and it really feels like a family."

He concluded: "Again, I'm really happy about Fred's reconfirmation within the team."
