F1 Today | Andretti hits Ferrari boss with lost faith claim, flexiwing conundrum explained

Mario Andretti has openly declared himself a fan of Charles Leclerc — and even said he would welcome the Monégasque with open arms at Cadillac, should he ever decide to part ways with Ferrari. However, Ferrari’s team principal didn’t receive the same praise from the American legend.

The Italian outfit is currently at risk of dropping from second to fourth in the Constructors’, as Red Bull Racing and Mercedes appear to have unlocked the full potential of their cars, while Ferrari still struggles to make the most of theirs. Despite this, Leclerc has been responsible for all five of the team’s podium finishes this season, while Hamilton’s only top-three appearances came during the sprint sessions in China and Miami.

When asked whether he had lost faith in Vasseur, Andretti’s reply was short, sharp, and unmistakably clear — just one word.

TV audiences were treated to a thrilling Singapore Grand Prix — but it also offered a clear view of the flexible front wings on the Red Bull Racing and Mercedes cars, sparking fresh debate over their legality.

The FIA has long kept a close eye on flexible aerodynamic components, with its most recent clampdown coming at the 2025 Spanish Grand Prix — a move introduced, somewhat ironically, after Red Bull had been particularly vocal about their concerns surrounding McLaren’s front wing behaviour.

GPblog now breaks down why Red Bull and Mercedes’ recent designs remain fully within the rules.
