As the race weekend in Hungary was about to start, Ferrari announced that Frederic Vasseur has extended his contract. The team principal signed a new agreement that is valid for several years. According to Charles Leclerc, it is very important that there is stability within the Scuderia.
Leclerc said: “I'm not the one making the decisions, but I think stability is always very important. Fred is the person we look up to and the person leading the team. To have him for many more years is definitely a good thing, also because in Formula 1 it takes time to build something, especially a successful team.”
Leclerc pleased with Vasseur's stay at Ferrari
The Monégasque also continued by saying he is pleased with Vasseur staying as team principal of Ferrari: “I'm very happy about that. Knowing that I'll be able to have Fred alongside me for more years makes me optimistic for the future.”
