Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur has taken a swipe at Red Bull boss Christian Horner, suggesting that their continued dominance in Formula 1 may not be as sustainable as it appears. The remarks came ahead of the Shanghai Grand Prix, where tensions between rival teams are already running high.
Vasseur Questions Red Bull’s Longevity
Vasseur, who has been vocal about Ferrari’s ambitions to close the gap on Red Bull, did not hold back in his assessment. "When you’re at the top, it’s easy to get complacent," he remarked, hinting at Red Bull’s recent supremacy in the sport.
Leclerc’s Struggles Highlight Ferrari’s Challenges
Meanwhile, Ferrari’s star driver Charles Leclerc has faced difficulties in matching Red Bull’s pace this season. Despite showing flashes of brilliance, the Monegasque driver has yet to secure a race win in 2024, leaving fans and analysts questioning whether Ferrari can mount a serious challenge.
Horner’s Response Awaited
Christian Horner, known for his sharp retorts, has yet to respond publicly to Vasseur’s comments. However, with Red Bull’s Max Verstappen continuing to dominate the championship, the pressure is on Ferrari to deliver results rather than rhetoric.
As the F1 circus moves to Shanghai, all eyes will be on whether Ferrari can translate their fighting talk into on-track performance—or if Red Bull will once again prove untouchable.
