BARRETTO: One year in, how is no-nonsense Fred Vasseur doing in motorsport’s toughest job at Ferrari?
Fred Vasseur is a no-nonsense kind of guy who deftly switches between ruthlessness and dry humour. It’s the way he was when he ran teams in junior series. It’s the way he was when he was at the helm of Renault and then Sauber in F1.
Taking on the biggest job in motorsport as Team Principal of Ferrari could have forced a change in that approach. He could have become more corporate, straight-laced and humourless. But after a year in the job, Vasseur hasn’t changed one bit.
