Jacques Villeneuve: Ferrari's Vasseur did not make progress.

      Last week, Ferrari extended the contract with team principal Fred Vasseur. 1997 world champion Jacques Villeneuve doubts that it was the right decision. Jacques Villeneuve: "It's hard to say whether Ferrari acted correctly by extending Fred Vasseur's contract. But for the team, it's important how smoothly everything works within the group. If they've decided to keep him, it means the drivers are satisfied with working with Fred and feel protected by him. These three have formed a united team, which could be good for the future. However, if we evaluate solely based on the team's results, we cannot ignore the fact that progress has not been made, and Ferrari has not become successful. Of course, it's not easy to change a team leader when a new complex regulation comes into effect. Deciding not to change the leader is the simplest option in this situation. However, I believe that nothing needs to be changed if everything is going well. When nothing works, change is always for the better."
