Frenchman Frederic Vasseur was named team principal and general manager of Ferrari on Tuesday, tasked with ending Red Bull’s dominance in Formula One.
It will be the 54-year-old’s first job with one of F1’s heavyweights.
“Ferrari N.V. today announced that Fred Vasseur will join Scuderia Ferrari on January 9 as team principal and general manager,” said Ferrari in a statement.
Vasseur fills the void left by the resignation of Mattia Binotto last month after Ferrari failed to mount a serious and sustained challenge to Red Bull, despite a promising start to the campaign.
Vasseur until recently held the position of CEO and team principal of Sauber Motorsport (currently Alfa Romeo F1 Team), having been there since 2017.
