Having worked as team principal of Alfa Romeo๊ for three years, Vasseur to💞ok over from Mattia Binotto at Ferrari in December 2022.

Binotto was relieved of his duties following a disappointing season in charge of the Italian outfit, which saw them become their own worst enemy on sever🌱al occas💎ions over the course of the year.

Charles Leclerc was pictured in a heated discussion with Binotto after one race, as poor strategy calls and unforced errors looke🐬d to have created a tense atmosp♈here in the team. Vasseur, however, has insisted to that this is not the case.

“In the paddock, when it was speculated that I might come to Ferrari, everyone said to me ‘you'll see what a mess, what infighting’”, said Vasseur. “This is completely false. It is𝔉 an idea people have formed and are used to repeating.

“If I co🔯mpa𒅌re Ferrari to other teams, even those I’ve been to, the atmosphere is very good.”

The Frenchman continued to talk highly of the energy꧙ around his spirited workforce, as they look to take the fight to their competitors in 2023 and beyond: "The passion around the team is mega. Every morning when I get to the office there are people 'charged' in front of the entrance. It's a big push, even if sometimes it doesn't help when you need time and calm to grow.”

He also went on to offer a different perspective to the arg𓃲uments often seen in the tea🦩m, that are looked down on from the outside looking in.

Notably, drivers will sometimes be heard disagreeing over👍 different strategy calls on their team radio in races, which can indicate a bad atmosphere. The boss, h𒐪owever, suggested this as a positive, as his team does not become ‘complacent’.

“I'm always critical of myself, and I push everyone”, said Vasseur. “The worst for a team is to be complacent and relaxed. We argue ﷺa lot, and today in Ferrari arou🦄nd a table we don't blame each other".
