Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna Addresses Rumours and Confirms Faith in Fred Vasseur

Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna has addressed recent rumours surrounding Scuderia Ferrari, stressing the need to distinguish verified facts from unverified speculation. Amid speculation regarding Team Principal Frederic Vasseur's position due to sub-par race results, Ferrari publicly confirmed its confidence in Vasseur. Vigna explained that public intervention was necessary to stop paddock noise from creating pressure and distraction for the team's staff and their families.

To illustrate the divide between reality and media speculation, Vigna recalled reading an article claiming he and Vasseur had terrible relations while the two were actually having dinner together. Drawing on his scientific background and 30-year career, the Ferrari CEO advocated for verifying information before treating opinions as facts, noting that corrections to false reports often fail to reach the same audience as the original stories.

Addressing Ferrari's performance on the track, Vigna made no excuses, acknowledging that rival teams have done a better job so far this season and that the car needs improvement. However, he clarified that this technical evaluation is not a call for another upheaval. He stated that Vasseur and the Scuderia remain focused and determined, reaffirming that Ferrari values stability with Vasseur staying at the centre of the project.
