Frederic Vasseur has been tipped to achieve "big things" in charge of Ferrari despite some reservations over his appointment.
The Frenchman is the new team principal at Maranello, replacing Mattia Binotto who resigned at the end of the 2022 season. Ferrari built a good car but had engine reliability problems, while a swathe of terrible strategy decisions also derailed their title bid and led to Binotto feeling like he needed to step away.
Vasseur brings a lot of experience of leading single-seater teams to the job. He has had success in the feeder series with the ART team he formed with Nicolas Todt and has worked in F1 for several years now, first with Renault and then at Sauber.
