Frédéric Vasseur

Frédéric Vasseur is the kind of guy who doesn't need to shout because the results do the talking for him. A trained automotive engineer from the Paris suburbs, he climbed the motorsport ladder the hard way — running junior single-seater teams, nurturing drivers like Kimi Räikkönen early in their careers, and eventually steering Renault, Sauber, and Alfa Romeo before landing arguably the biggest seat in the paddock: team principal of Ferrari. Taking the reins at Maranello in 2023 is a job that has broken stronger men, but Vasseur walked in with quiet authority and methodical determination, the exact opposite of the flashy theatrics F1 is famous for. I genuinely respect that he's a builder, not a headline-grabber — the kind of executive who reorganizes from the inside out rather than making noise for the cameras.
