Benedetto Vigna’s Dismissal of Frederic Vasseur’s Wish to Take Major Decision Could Trigger Civil War at Ferrari

Ferrari is in a state of utter panic. The team hasn’t delivered as they have an extremely low score of 26 points on the board. Added to that, there has been an alarming outflux of the ‘important’ people. Maranello is almost having their own personal silly season and we aren’t just talking about strategy failures but people making switches. And team principal, Frederic Vasseur, made a boastful claim saying, “I don’t think key people will leave” and has been given a brutal reality check by the supreme boss, Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna.

Frederic’s appointment in itself saw a key figure of the scarlet team move aside to make way, and after his appointment, many such foundational figures of the team saw their way out. However, it was stated that Vasseur’s hiring as a part of the aggressive restructuring has left a few unhappy. While Fred described Laurent Mekies as “the pillar of future”, this time the restructuring has taken the man he wanted around.

Yesterday it was announced that AlphaTauri TP, Franz Tost, would step down from his duties at the end of the 2023 season campaign and Ferrari man Laurent Mekies would fill in for him. The speculation is that Vasseur who wanted the man to stay, the decision was still made. Does this mean that the newly appointed TP will now be at loggerheads with the CEO?

Well probably not but we can definitely state that Mekies’ move isn’t a happy situation for the captain of the sinking ship. Moreover, Fred’s overtly positive attitude isn’t helping the cause.

Beacon of truth, Red Bull‘s chief advisor, Dr. Helmut Marko, who has been known for being too honest, has done it once again. The world can see the Maranello boat sinking and Marko has now gone on to call out the Ferrari TP has his positivity.

“Mercedes obviously wants to know and find out what is going on and will come with updates in Baku. And from Ferrari, so far we have not been able to get the right assessment. What I just don’t understand is that team boss [Frederic] Vasseur can see everything so positively.”
