Forza Ferrari. The most iconic team of Formula 1 hasn’t been living up to its history. How long will the Tifosi have to wait to feel the greatness of the Italian team again? Only time will tell. But the process of being back at the top step has already begun with bringing Frederic Vasseur to the helm as a new team principal. With only one goal in his mind, echoing the emotions of Maranello, the Frenchman has already made a mark in the first month of his new job.

The Ferrari follies came to light in 2022 when they built a race-winning car but made themselves lose on days when their car didn’t go up in flames. To rectify the strategic mishaps, Mattia Binotto was replaced with his friend at the scarlet team. The newly arrived TP has resorted to the old-school ways to claim the old glory of the team. According to reports, the new boss comes in early and leaves after it has gone dark. He has even managed to win over the staff with his hardworking style.

According to gazzetta.it, “Vasseur is just the man for this role. New working at the iconic marque, the Frenchman has already managed to fully win over the staff. After all, everyone calls him by his first name ‘Fred’, not ‘Mr Vasseur’. Every morning Fred is at Maranello very early, usually before seven. He does not usually leave before 7.30 or 8 in the evening, when it has long gone dark again.” [Translated by Google]

Further, Vasseur was even praised for his accessibility, his commitment, and the equations he maintains.

Frederic Vasseur plans to tap into Italian roots to embrace his new role

The workaholic ex-boss of Alfa Romeo, Fred, is trying to morph himself into the Italian team. The man has gone all out to become one with the team. The latest revelation is that he has been taking special lessons to embrace his new motoring home.

According to Gazzetta, “Vasseur does not just fill his days with meetings, he also spends hours learning the Italian language. At least four times a week, a private tutor comes to Maranello to teach the Frenchman the secrets of Italian. He immediately puts that knowledge into practice, as Vasseur often finds himself in the factory, among the mechanics and designers.”
