Brundle Backs Vasseur: Ferrari's Problems Not Solely Leadership's Fault
Ferrari's Formula 1 team isn't doing as well this year, and some people are wondering if they should replace their leader, Fred Vasseur.
Former racer Martin Brundle says that's not the right move.
He believes the whole team needs to work better, not just change the boss.
Brundle thinks Vasseur is a good leader, along with drivers Leclerc and Hamilton.
The problem is that the Ferrari car isn't as fast as it used to be, and they need to improve it.
Ferrari's Formula 1 team hasn't secured any wins this season, with pressure building on Team Principal Fred Vasseur.
Former F1 driver Martin Brundle has defended Vasseur, arguing against replacing him.
Brundle believes the issue is collective, not solely the team principal's responsibility.
Brundle cited the strong combination of Leclerc, Hamilton, and Vasseur.
Ferrari's performance has regressed from the 2024 season, when they finished second in the constructor's championships.
