Sure why not LOL> The 'luxury' brand has how many 'managers' now lol Im not sure yet. If RedBull win the first 3 races possibly then we should just 'move on' lol
The other difference is that Vasseur will never achieve what Ron Dennis did in his career. Now that the role of team principal has been diminished at the Scuderia, I consider Vasseur as a stopgap, and the next scapegoat.
I'm thinking Vasseur's TP role is by name only. Vigna I believe will "approve" or micro-manage the Scuderia and report to Elkann.
More than likely. Until Binotto, the Scuderia TP was also supervising the technical dept. It looks like Vigna will control that himself now, with Vasseur only responsible for track operations, if I read that right. I am convinced Elkann will be looking for a long term candidate for the job, someone in the LdM or Todt mould, but with some technical background added. If they find it, Vasseur will be in for the chop.
And Seidl is out at McLaren and becoming the CEO of Alfa Romeo, and Stella becomes the TP at McLaren, and Capito is out at Williams. Is there a place for Binotto in all of this?
Martin Brundle: Ferrari's team boss changes good for Mercedes, but McLaren's bad for Lando Norris https://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12433/12768074/martin-brundle-ferraris-team-boss-changes-good-for-mercedes-but-mclarens-bad-for-lando-norris
Michael Schmidt thinks Frédéric Vasseur will not stay on as Ferrari team boss for long. The German journalist does not doubt the Frenchman's qualities, but he thinks expectations at the Italian racing stable are too high. Vasseur will take over the role of team boss from Mattia Binotto next season. However, the question is how long he will stay on as team boss, as Ferrari has had five team bosses in the past 15 years. "I think Vasseur also has only a short shelf life at Ferrari," Schmidt said in his column for Auto, Motor und Sport. Unrealistic The journalist does not believe the team will be champions next year and if that is the goal, he calls it unrealistic. "They built a good car by accident in the winter, but it only went downhill." Schmidt does report that he does not think it will be down to Vasseur if Ferrari does not win a championship under his leadership. The journalist points mainly to the culture within the team. "He will just end up in a situation where he can only lose. I am convinced that Vasseur cannot continue with the current people."
I feel the same; Vasseur is just a stopgap after Binotto's sudden resignation. A quick fix. Vasseur doesn't seem to have the same role Binotto had; that's an indication. CEO Vigna will be in charge of the Scuderia, and him and Elkann will be looking for a better candidate for years to come.
