Overview
- Ferrari confirmed that 58-year-old team principal Fred Vasseur is back in the Monaco paddock after an unspecified hospital admission that the team has chosen to keep private.
- A Ferrari spokeswoman told AFP that Vasseur was present at the circuit, updating earlier reports of his hospital visit without giving further medical details.
- Ferrari completed qualifying during his absence, with Lewis Hamilton on the third grid position and Charles Leclerc fourth, and Leclerc said Vasseur remained heavily involved by supporting the team remotely.
- The return comes as Ferrari sits second in the Constructors’ standings on 147 points and continues to seek its first Grand Prix win since 2024, adding pressure on race-day performance.
- The Monaco Grand Prix is the sixth race of the season and Vasseur’s presence restores on-site leadership for today’s event while the team manages questions about his health and operational continuity.
