Ferrari’s F1 Slide Deepens as Leadership Promises Revival

Public pledges were followed by a sharp market selloff, with reported friction shaping a pivot to 2026.

Overview

  • Ferrari remains winless in 2025 and sits third after Singapore, trailing Mercedes by 27 points in the constructors’ race with Red Bull closing in.
  • Chairman John Elkann and CEO Benedetto Vigna vowed to restore success, declaring the team must win in F1, as the stock fell about 15% on the NYSE after Capital Markets Day.
  • Italian reports described engineers frustrated by Charles Leclerc’s blunt assessments and a heated exchange involving Frédéric Vasseur, while Lewis Hamilton said the squad is “more united than ever.”
  • With no further upgrades expected this season, Ferrari is redirecting resources toward its 2026 package under the incoming regulations.
  • Driver and leadership chatter grew louder, with Leclerc’s manager Nicolas Todt predicting a “very hot” 2027 market and separate media rumors linking John Elkann’s interest in Christian Horner to scrutiny on Vasseur.
