Ferrari renews team principal Fred Vasseur’s contract despite a difficult F1 season
BUDAPEST: Ferrari handed team principal Fred Vasseur a new contract on Thursday in a sign of “trust in Fred’s leadership” following speculation about his future, with the Italian team yet to win a Formula 1 race in 2025.

Lewis Hamilton gave Vasseur his backing last month after reports in Italian media suggested his job could be in question.
