Ferrari publicly backs Vasseur after Horner comments

Ferrari held an unusual briefing on Tuesday to cut off fresh speculation around Frédéric Vasseur. The Scuderia’s message was explicit: the team says it has full confidence in its team principal and that its leadership decisions have already been made.

The reaction follows comments from former Red Bull boss Christian Horner describing Ferrari as a ‘dream’ destination. Vasseur had already acknowledged in Baku that repeated questions about his future were disrupting the team’s working environment. Ferrari wants to stop the subject from dominating attention again during the Sepang weekend.

Facts and speculation need to be clearly separated: Ferrari has announced no leadership change and is not publicly negotiating any replacement. On the contrary, the briefing is designed to protect Vasseur and reaffirm support for him ahead of Malaysia.
