Former Formula 1 driver Romain Grosjean has backed fellow Frenchman Frederic Vasseur to handle his new role as Ferrari team boss. “Ferrari is a huge challenge for anyone,” Grosjean, who has more recently been racing in Indycar, told Italy’s La Gazzetta dello Sport. Grosjean, however, does not dispute that Ferrari was justified in wanting to install a new boss. As for Vasseur, 36-year-old Grosjean agrees that he is a wise selection. “I won Formula 3 for Fred’s team in 2007,” he said. “I’ve actually never met a team boss who has so much technical understanding and a very good feel for what a driver needs.
