Starting in 2023, Frederic Vasseur will lead Ferrari as team principal.
The Frenchman, 54, who has led Alfa Romeo/Sauber as managing director since 2017, replaces Mattia Binotto, who, according to Ferrari, resigned last month.
Vasseur will be responsible for making the Italian team competitive enough to win the world championship.
Due to operational and reliability concerns, Ferrari wasted a car that was the fastest at the start of the year in 2022.
Ferrari chief executive officer Benedetto Vigna said: “Throughout his career, Fred has successfully combined his technical strengths as a trained engineer with a consistent ability to bring out the best in his drivers and teams.
“This approach and his leadership are what we need to push Ferrari forward with renewed energy.”
Vasseur, who will start working for Ferrari on January 9th, expressed his “delight and honor” at the opportunity to lead the team.
“As someone who has held a lifelong passion for motorsport, Ferrari has always represented the very pinnacle of the racing world to me,” he said.
“I look forward to working with the talented and truly passionate team in Maranello to honour the history and heritage of the Scuderia and deliver for our tifosi around the world.”
