Ferrari faces leadership rift between Vasseur and Vigna

Reports suggest a significant internal rift at Ferrari between Formula 1 Team Principal Fred Vasseur and CEO Benedetto Vigna. The relationship between the two is described as ‘practically non-existent,’ creating tension at the top of the company's hierarchy.

This leadership conflict coincides with reports that Lewis Hamilton has requested changes to key trackside personnel, expressing dissatisfaction with strategic decisions and race weekend execution.

Ferrari reportedly lacks a clear succession plan for Vasseur. While some internal figures like Antonello Coletta are deemed uninterested in the F1 team principal role, and external candidates like McLaren’s Andrea Stella are unavailable, Vasseur remains under pressure despite the lack of an obvious alternative.
