Ferrari e Frederic Vasseur they have been the most discussed and talked about names in recent days for three very specific reasons: the promotion of Bryan Bozzi as race engineer for Charles Leclerc, joining the team Loic Serra e Jerome d'Ambrosio and, to top it off, the possibility of grabbing Adrian Newey.
The news at Ferrari decided by Vasseur
As we already know, Bryan Bozzi he will replace Xavi Marcos as Charles Leclerc's race engineer. In these days, in fact, during the filming day, Bozzi and Leclerc tried their hand at acquiring the strictly necessary feeling between driver and engineer and which we will see debut this weekend in the Imola GP.
The slightly more recent news of the transfer of the two Mercedes engineers to Maranello was the icing on the cake. For those who thought that Vasseur's moves ended with Lewis Hamilton's entry into Ferrari, the French team principal proves once again that he has absolutely not finished his chess game. Loic Serra he will be responsible for the coordination of various departments, including “Track Engineering”, “Aero Development”, “Aero Operations” and “Vehicle Performance”.
The decisive checkmate that would put an end to his amazing game would seem to be precisely the one that will determine the future of the aerodynamics wizard, Adrian Newey, now that he is free from his contract with Red Bull. What is certain is that his promise to "make noise" has brought great satisfaction to the staff of the prancing horse. Also because, at the beginning of the year, the TP had said that he knew the gaps to be filled in his staff and that he would do everything to return to the winning team of the past.
TP's words on recent transfer rumours
For Bryan Bozzi, Vasseur, claims to have made a change that has been needed for some time. «We are in a continuous process of improvement, we wanted to take this step, it was an internal promotion with Bryan who comes from the team, he knows Charles very well and they have a good relationship and he is part of the development of the team as are the others.» that's what we read about Passion formula and which the Frenchman spoke to the microphones of La Repubblica.
Although Adrian Newey is relatively close to Maranello as recent rumors say, Vasseur felt obliged to clarify a fundamental concept for him. Frédéric, in fact, stated these words to La Repubblica: «Adrian is a point of reference for all of Formula 1 due to his experience and his palmarès, he is perhaps the one who has the most experience of all. Said this, I believe much more in the group than in individuals. Part of success always comes from power of the collective, in the fact that everyone knows and is convinced of the role they have in the system, I will always be the one who will push the importance of this thesis.»
Of course, you can't blame him, a functioning team is a cohesive team, not a team where there is only one top man and hundreds of heads going in different directions. Is this a warning to prepare fans for a "not" Newey?
