Ferrari struggles: Is Vasseur going to be axed? (ad-free)
🕑 Added 2025-06-18 12:00:04 +0000 UTCThe growing pressure in the Italian media on Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur is the topic for the latest ad-free edition of The Race F1 Podcast.
Former Ferrari communications advisor Roberto Boccafogli joins Jon Noble and Edd Straw to offer his unique insight into the criticisms of Vasseur and what could be done to prevent this.
We ask what’s gone wrong for Ferrari, whether there could be an imminent turnaround and whether Vasseur has convinced the tifosi he’s taking the problems seriously enough in a team that presents unique communications challenges.
We also discuss Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton’s concerns and ask what role they play in the troubles.

The problem is with expectations. I think people expect to be given all the insider information at Ferrari and are mad when they don't have that Intel. Ferrari is a company, then it's a race team, then it's a brand, thennuts a national identity. Everyone feels some time of ownership over one part or another and get but hurt when they aren't in the inner circle. Then the expectation to win is so high, they get more angry when they don't. The media and fans demand exact answers why they aren't number 1 and you can't just give that information away to the public. You should support your team, not feel entitled to every bit of insider information like you're apart of that team.
