Former F1 driver Montoya believes the insecurity of Vasseur's position at Ferrari might hinder his performance at Maranello. 'You always look at the head of Ferrari and you are wondering: 'Okay, how long is this one going to last?''
Vasseur has been drafted into Maranello for 2023 after his predecessor Mattia Binotto resigned last year amid a belief he did not have the confidence of Ferrari's senior road car management.has everything in its hands to be able to fight for the F1 championship this year, Montoya believes there are still elements that the Frenchman will struggle with.
Speaking to Motorsport.com, Montoya said:"One of the hard things with Ferrari is that I don't think anybody feels like they have job security. "You look at Toto [Wolff] and you know Toto is not going anywhere. You look at Christian [Horner] or you look at Helmut [Marko], they are not going anywhere. But you always look at the head of Ferrari and you are wondering: 'Okay, how long is this one going to last?' Because there is always somebody after him."
"I thought they were going to put Jean Todt in that position," he said."To be honest, that would have been my pick."I don't know if he wanted the job, but he's the guy that did the job before. And I think everybody respects him enough that nobody is going to fuck with him.
