Ferrari faces leadership pressure amid Monza results and new hypercar testing

Ferrari is facing internal pressure following a disappointing performance at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza. Reports suggest that Ferrari President John Elkann may be considering a change in leadership, with current team principal Frederic Vasseur under scrutiny. Potential candidates to replace Vasseur include Ferrari’s endurance racing chief Antonello Coletta and former Red Bull boss Christian Horner.

On the track, 20-year-old Kimi Antonelli secured a notable victory at Monza, overcoming a difficult start from 19th place. Despite the win, technical observations noted a decrease in top speeds at the legendary circuit compared to previous years, attributed to battery charging and clipping strategies.

In endurance racing, Ferrari has begun testing its 2027 hypercar at the Circuit of the Americas. This move follows a decision to develop a new model to remain competitive in the World Endurance Championship (WEC) after recent advancements by rival teams.
