Due to his wife and other terrible marital problems, Fred Vasseur sorrowfully announced his retirement unexpectedly, and all his team players broke down in tears, but…
After much disappointment this season, there have been rumors about his future, and on Saturday, his departure from Ferrari was officially announced.
Several strategy errors and reliability issues caused Charles Leclerc’s title challenge to collapse, even though he had the fastest vehicle on the grid throughout the first half of 2024.
If Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari are a match made in heaven, that is debatable. But to Frederic Vassuer, at least, the two’s coming together did feel like a marriage. After less than a year in charge, the French manager will have a seven-time world champion on staff starting in 2019. For Frederic Vassuer, nevertheless, this union felt more like a marriage for one straightforward reason: the complexities of the agreement.
Although a marriage is between two people, there are many moving parts, as we all know. Usually, it involves and has an impact on far more than the union of the two individuals. In conclusion, everyone concerned must consent, even if two people are tying the knot in holy matrimony. For Vasseur, signing Hamilton felt just like that. This admission came from him following the SF-24’s successful launch.
Vasseur stated, “It’s a huge opportunity for Ferrari, but it concerns 2025,” as cited by Gazzetta. We are now considering 2024. In order to prevent distractions during the year, we have chosen to announce this announcement ahead of time. Lewis made it similar to a marriage in that everyone had to agree. (Google translated)
Following the Lewis Hamilton revelation, Frederic Vasseur shares the two most challenging decisions he had to make. Hamilton’s news was tightly controlled until the very end. Even Toto Wolff, Hamilton’s current boss, and Carlos Sainz, the man he will replace, were unaware of this scenario since it was so carefully concealed. Therefore, when the news leaked, it must have come as a shock and caught the two completely off guard.
Vasseur had to make the courtesy calls in order to wrap up the announcements he said that the calls he made to Sainz and Toto Wolff were two of the hardest he had ever made.
