Ferrari revolution: even Pat Fry is already on ... holidays
The lights are off. The Office is closed, while the racing Department is in full swing at Maranello with the dawning of the 666, the Prancing Horse car which must relaunch the Ferrari in Formula 1 2015. Pat Fry, head of the Engineering Team, is on vacation. As was Nicholas Tombazis? Chief designer since 2006, responsible for all projects is officially on vacation, even though he is actually defining his exit from Sports Management.
The responsibility to carry out the execution and development of the 666 was given to Simon Resta, the 44-year-old engineer who was promoted. Two of the men trusted by James Allison, the English engineer, were sacrificed before the new car has even put the wheels on the ground.
Clearly, there is a willingness to eliminate any sign of continuity with the horrible year that has just ended: it has been 21 years since Ferrari did not win a race in a season. And the fourth place in the manufacturers ' World Championship testifies to how troubled a season it was for the unhappy F14 T.
President Sergio Marchionne and Maurizio Arrivabene, the newly appointed team principal coming straight from Philip Morris, have given the Prancing Horse team another direction, continuing a turn over of more than 60 people. In short, Ferrari, is changing face: even the two engineers on track will have be different.
Sebastian Vettel will be able to work with Richard Adami, since Andrea Stella followed Fernando Alonso to Mclaren, while Kimi Raikkonen should relate well with David Greenwood, the technician came to Maranello by Marussia that will replace Antonio Spagnolo.
