Frederic Vasseur has hit out after the chairman of Alfa Romeo’s team owner quit. Vasseur, however, is not in the mood to reveal any details. Vasseur also fended off speculation that Picci’s departure is linked to the failed negotiations between team management and potential buyer Michael Andretti. “Personally, I don’t think so at all, but I would not like to speak on Mr Picci’s behalf,” he said. “But you must understand that making decisions about the team, about the drivers, is always difficult. “After lengthy discussions, we made our decisions together with the main shareholders of the team,” Vasseur added. “Right now we are negotiating and I hope we will be able to organise it,” said Vasseur.
