Fred Vasseur has been signed to replace the outgoing Mattia Binotto as Ferrari's Formula One boss for the 2023 season.

Marco Mattiacci followed on from Domenicali but was gone at the end of the year. Vasseur is vastly experienced and will go into this new job knowing full well the weight of expectation upon him.

Charles Leclerc reckons Ferrari can be competitive next season if there's a seamless transition from Mattia Binotto to Fred Vasseur.

I believe that if the transition is done in the right way, we shouldn’t suffer too much. “I also think that after the 2021 season where we’ve been working very well and reset it a little bit from 2020, that was a difficult season, we have been working in the right direction and in the right way. But the Scuderia’s suspension is also said to have played a part in their tyre woes. “And this gives me the confidence that we’ll have a competitive car for 2023.” “We’ve been working extremely hard in the past year to try and understand what were the weaknesses of this car in order to get better for next year’s car. Revealing that Binotto, who will leave Ferrari on the 31st of December with Vasseur taking over in early January, is still present in the factory, the Monégasque is feeling “confident” ahead of the 2023 season.
