Vasseur & Co would likely stick with Ferrari
The Italian team supplies power units to Haas & Alfa Romeo. The 22′ Formula One season would see drastic changes made to the car, and how it functions. So it wouldn’t make sense for the Swiss-based team to jump ship, and make a deal with the Brackley-based squad.
