Formula One fans, you thought silly season was over when the 2023 driver grid was set, but buckle in—the team principals are on the move as well.
Frédéric Vasseur will take over as Ferrari’s team principal and general manager on January 9, the Formula One team announced Tuesday. The Frenchman will be leaving Alfa Romeo to replace the outgoing Mattia Binotto, whose resignation was announced Nov. 29 but will remain with the team until Dec. 31. Vasseur had been widely rumored to be the favorite to takeover. He’s been with Alfa Romeo since 2017, and his reign ended with the team’s best result in a decade—a sixth place finish with Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu.
