I've been hearing things that Fred Vasseur is gonna be given a contract extension because of the 'stability' that he brings to the team... That prolly more like it means that Ferrari can't get Horner so they have no choice but to stay with Vasseur.

So I guess the odds on Horner going to Alpine and buying 20% of the team is going up? Chances are he's not taking a sabbatical.
In the past, Ferrari has often changed team bosses in the pursuit of short term results, but this approach does not bring sustainable success. Since Vasseur took over, Ferrari has been trying to pursue a more long-term and stable strategy. The secret to success lies in stability. This also contributes to team communication and engineering processes. I think Ferrari's performance has been steadily improving. Especially in qualifying and pit stop times. I think the impact of the technical and cultural reforms under Vasseur's stewardship will become evident over time.
