Ferrari Boss Vasseur Hands over to D'Ambrosio for Austrian GP

Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur left the Austrian Grand Prix mid-weekend on June 29, 2025, and returned home for personal reasons.
This sudden departure followed ongoing pressure and media speculation about Vasseur's future at Ferrari amid reports of lost confidence by the Ferrari board.
Deputy team principal Jerome d'Ambrosio, a 39-year-old Belgian and former Lotus F1 driver, assumed leadership for the remainder of the Austrian Grand Prix weekend, including race day.
Seven-Time world champion Lewis Hamilton praised Vasseur, stating he is the main reason he joined Ferrari and highlighting recent performance improvements such as progress with the new car floor.
Vasseur's absence marks a critical moment ahead of his contract expiration at year's end, with Ferrari's improving form in 2025 shadowed by uncertainty over leadership continuity.
