Earthquake at Red Bull: after the Horner case, and the persistent rumors about Newey's future, there could also be a sensational twist on the technical director Waché which could really come close to Ferrari. The indiscretion was launched by Luigi Perna at “La Gazzetta dello Sport”. Based on what is said, it seems that the situation at Red Bull is anything but simple: Horner's future is still in the balance and, above all, impossible to define until the outcome of the interrogations that lawyers, employed by the Milton Keynes team, carried out on Friday 9 February. In addition to Horner, there are also many doubts about Waché's future: it is certainly no mystery that Vasseur tried several times to take him to Ferrari and, if until recently the answer has always been negative, something may have changed.
Waché sees Ferrari in his future: the situation
Vasseur's desire, as is well known, is to build a competitive Ferrari not only in terms of driver pairing (with the 2025 line-up which will be made up of Hamilton-Leclerc). For the Frenchman it is necessary to bring new blood into Maranello. It goes without saying how much Waché represents one of the most desired engineers in the paddock. Ferrari has been courting him for a while and has always received negative responses but, to date, it cannot be ruled out that things may have changed.
Vasseur's plan
Without a doubt, a lot will depend on how the team manages a situation that, at the moment, seems to be very complex. Once clarified, it will then be possible to understand the real intentions of Waché who, more than ever, could choose to embrace the Ferrari project starting from 2025. If the Red Bull engineer decides to accept, the Ferrari engineering department (also considering the grafting of Loic Serra from Mercedes) will have no choice but to continue to increase its level. Vasseur scrutinizes, thinks and reasons to try to put together a team (between engineers and drivers) that can allow the Red team to quickly return to world title success.
