Working with Alfa Romeo for six seasons, Vasseur climbed from the bottom of the team standings to sixth, the highest ranking since 2012.

Vasseur’s name appeared in the Italian media last month, but Ferrari dismissed the reports as “totally unfounded”. Working together with Ferrari driver Leclerc in 2016, Vasseur experienced the same experience in 2017 and 2018.
