Fred Vasseur leads Formula 1’s most storied team. At the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, the Tifosi – Ferrari’s passionate fans – want to see Charles Leclerc or Lewis Hamilton on the podium.
But what they, the rest of Italy and Ferrari fans all over the world really want Vasseur to deliver is the Formula 1 World Championship.
On this week’s episode of F1’s Beyond The Grid podcast, Vasseur tells host Tom Clarkson how Ferrari are building a team to fight for titles, and the high-priority objectives of his high-pressure job: getting the best out of Leclerc, and supporting Hamilton as he continues to adapt to Ferrari – the challenge of which Vasseur says may have been underestimated.
He talks about his 5am starts in search of success, and why returning Ferrari to the top of the sport will take time – even with two proven stars in the cars.
