Inside Ferrari the situation is not easy at all. After the first race of the season in Bahrain, the retirement of Charles Leclerc certainly did not bode well for the fans red. Ferrari immediately found itself the center of attention and the resignation by chief aerodynamicist David Sanchez certainly didn't help.
Ferrari, very delicate situation
There are various releases during the week rumors on the air you breathed in Maranello. Many dwelt on the relationship, apparently already tense, between Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna and new team principal Frederic Vasseur. Based on what was filtering, it seemed that the CEO of the redhead had not appreciated a commercial proposal made by Vasseur who was intent on forging a partnership with a new sponsor. In fact, Vigna would have invited the Frenchman to stick to his duties, immediately creating contrast.
Vasseur: “Never had so much decision power”
However, during the evening, they arrived the words of Frederic Vasseur who spoke exclusively to the portal “Autoweekly", finally taking stock of a very tangled situation: “I can already tell you one thing: in Ferrari I have the means and decision-making power that I have never had elsewhere. This is the reality of the situation. I struggle to understand why the team becomes a target after just one game. That's why I asked everyone to stay focused on performance and find solutions to reliability problems, because the championship is long. Bahrain has been bad in some ways, and good in others!”
“I respect Sanchez's choice”
The French also wanted to focus on resignation by aerodynamics chief Sanchez, arrived in recent days: “It is inevitable. There are people who were very close to Binotto and who prefer to leave. It doesn't bother me. And there are others who may have feared for a moment for their future.”
