Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur will miss Saturday's qualifying ​session for the Monaco Grand ‌Prix after being taken ill, the team announced in a statement.

"Following some ​medical checks, Fred will ​remain under observation at a local ⁠medical facility. No further medical ​information will be provided," the ​Italian team said.

Ferrari have high hopes of a first ‌Grand ⁠Prix win since October 2024 with the twisty Monaco street circuit expected to narrow the performance ​gap with ​the dominant ⁠Mercedes team.

Drivers Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc finished ​first and second in ​both ⁠practice sessions on Friday.

Frenchman Vasseur, 58, moved to Ferrari in 2023 ⁠after ​six seasons at the ​former Sauber then Alfa Romeo team.
