Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur has declined an invitation to serve as godfather to Charles Leclerc's baby, citing his own family commitments. Vasseur, who has four children of his own, turned down the role offered by his star driver.
The personal interaction between the Ferrari leadership and their Monegasque driver highlights the close relationship within the team. Leclerc, who races for the Scuderia under Vasseur's management, had reportedly asked his team principal to take on the ceremonial role.
Vasseur's response, referencing his existing parental responsibilities with four children, underscores the demanding nature of both Formula 1 leadership and fatherhood. The 2026 Formula 1 season continues with Ferrari competing for championship honors.
