Frederic Vasseur is ready to take command of the Ferrari: the new cycle that will see the Frenchman in the role of team principal will officially begin on Monday 9 January. The single-seater for the next World Championship is almost ready: as he reports The print, the chassis passed the crash tests and the FIA homologated the latest engine specification. The new Ferrari will then be unveiled in just over a month, on February 14th.
In the meantime, work will continue on a whole series of details concerning the single-seater, but the political front of Formula 1 will also be dealt with. Vasseur will in fact have to decide what to do with the Federation as regards the rules on the new engines that will come into force in 2026. The print highlighted the reason for the dispute currently underway: “La Red Bull Powertrains wants to be considered a new builderacknowledgment that would give it a series of technical advantages (more hours at the test bench and greater spending possibilities)”.
“Ferrari – it still reads on The print – it could use its right of veto, but it would poison the environment. The negotiation will not be easy or painless. Waiting to define this purely political situation, Ferrari will continue work on the single-seater, with the idea of reviving the challenge to Red Bull and Mercedes: in particular, the technicians will work on the final details of aerodynamics, but the fundamental concepts are all defined .
