While the signing of Frederic Vasseur to replace Mattia Binotto has been hailed by some as a positive move, not everyone is convinced Ferrari are better off having changed their team principal.
The change was an enforced one – officially, at least – by Binotto's decision to resign after four years in charge. While it was framed as being the Italian's decision, it is understood he chose to jump ship having lost the complete confidence of Ferrari executive chairman John Elkann.
Vasseur is perhaps a slightly-left field choice as his successor, but brings plenty of experience. The fact he speaks Italian, has experienced success in junior formulae and has a strong relationship with Charles Leclerc are all reasons for fans to be optimistic about his tenure.
