The title of Vincenzo Borgomeo’s editorial on Formula Passion no need for interpretation. He says clearly: Vasseur laughs. But why? A more than correct observation, even if we are now used to the laughter of the great boss of the Scuderia. The fact is that Formula Passion it is a newspaper owned by Gedi which is the publishing group of John Elkann. In short, we are under friendly fire…
Here are some steps:
That the Reds of Barcelona and Spielberg were the fourth force in the World Championship is not very debatable. McLaren and Mercedes seem to have climbed on a missile, and today they appear out of reach. And on Sunday here is Silverstone, a circuit that for too many years (except for Carlos’s incredible success in 2022) has not smiled on Ferrari, when instead twelve months ago Spielberg had been one of the best theaters for the Reds who instead limped there in recent days. So, again: was Sunday night in Austria really something to laugh about?
The Scuderia today appears to be prey to tension and discontent. Sainz is visibly (and understandably) scorned at having been sidelined in favor of Hamilton for 2025. The team is reeling under the weight of new acquisitions that will draw new hierarchies from the fall: Jerome D’Ambrosio announced as vice team principal generates a lot of dissatisfaction among long-time Ferrari fans who see themselves pushed back in the leadership ranks and found out from a press release; Loic Serra, a mega-valued aerodynamicist, enters the house without the move and choice having been previously shared with anyone on the technical team.
President Elkann, speaking with the Corriere della Sera, he had not expressed any doubts: “… this year we have seen progress and also difficulties. We need to continue to grow: we need to find the balance between valorizing the many capable people here, an aspect that I strongly emphasize, and the possibility of attracting new talent. It was nice to hear an engineer who had just arrived from Red Bull talk about our potential. It is confirmation that there is a great desire to come to Ferrari”.
Behind the editorial of Formula Passion there is nothing (except the director’s straight back), but the fact that even a family site criticizes certain attitudes makes you think. Vasseur who after Monte Carlo looked like a god, is still on the grill today. But that is the fate of those who drive a Ferrari
