Frederic had announced it some time ago Vasseur"I hired a 'top' guy a few weeks ago who will join in 2025 to work on the 2025 and 2026 cars. But if you don't do it now, the impact is delayed even more“. That the Classic Ferrari for sale, and in particular the team principal, was looking for men to buy from the market was certainly nothing new, but the adjective "top” warmed up the atmosphere in Maranello quite a bit.
The first idea
One of the first ideas in fact concerned Waché, the current technical director of Red Bull – therefore Newey's right shoulder. It goes without saying that, had an agreement been reached, the purchase of Vasseur would have been of extraordinary importance, especially considering goal 2026 – with development focused on new power units. Such an agreement would have been very reminiscent of the one executed by Aston Martin, which is still seen today Fallows – former Red Bull – its technical director, with the excellent results that are being achieved during this season.
Waché doesn't go to Ferrari and renews with Red Bull
However, based on what Formu1a.uno reports, it seems that the agreement between Ferrari and Waché has not been reached. Vasseur did everything he could to try to bring him home. The Ferrari team principal's idea was to try to use how trading pawn the now former Ferrari Mekies, which will conclude its adventure in red at the end of July – discounting the gardening and then landing as AlphaTauri team principal starting in 2024. The idea didn't end well, so much so that Waché also managed to secure a renewal with the Milton Keynes team.
Vasseur focuses on Serra: he is the "top" man
If the Waché objective failed, who did Vasseur turn to? According to the exclusive told by Formula1a.one, it seems that the "top" man described by the team principal in red prevent from home Mercedes. Let's talk about Performance Director Loic Serra. The Frenchman, still present in the Brackley team, has had various experiences in the F1 sector, such as the role of developing tires and new types of suspension for its F1 customer teams when he was at Michelin. Ferrari's goal is precisely to focus its attention on level suspension and vehicle dynamics. Serra seems to be the right man: he will be the "top" purchase that Frederic Vasseur has longed for, in the hope that that adjective will soon be used to describe the next car in red.
