Flavio Briatore has no envy for Fred Vasseur as Ferrari’s star drivers clash

Former F1 team boss Flavio Briatore has publicly backed Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur amid reports that his position at the team is under threat. Briatore acknowledged the difficulties Vasseur faces managing the 'bickering' partnership of Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc, who are in their second full season as Ferrari teammates in 2026. Despite the internal tensions and Ferrari's ongoing wait for a world championship since Kimi Räikkönen's title, Briatore stated that Vasseur's work 'must be respected.'
