Mysterious New Ferrari ‘Top Guy’ Revealed: Loic Serra: https://las-motorsport.com/f1/news/mysterious-new-ferrari-top-guy-revealed-loic-serra/8527/

"Ferrari has been on the hunt for a new ‘Top Guy’ to strengthen its technical department in Maranello, according to team principal Frederic Vasseur. After failing to lure Pierre Waché from Red Bull, Ferrari has turned to Mercedes and managed to secure Loic Serra as their mystery ‘Top Guy’. ...

After a stint at Michelin working on tires and suspensions, Serra joined BMW Sauber focusing on suspensions. He moved to Mercedes in 2010 and has been integral in optimizing their chassis.

While not as versatile as Waché, Serra will aim to enhance Ferrari’s vehicle dynamics and ensure optimal interaction between the tires and aerodynamic concept. He will work closely with newly appointed Technical Director Enrico Cardile to address Ferrari’s mechanical deficiencies. ..."

Ferrari don't need a new technical guy.

They need a new pit wall and strategy department. Maybe getting a new tech guys is part of their strategy...as set out by the strategy department...I'm sure it will be very successful, as all their strategies have been.

LOL. No way CH will let Seb race Max.

I know...we could only hope.
Actually I'd be VERY interested to see what Seb could do in Checo's car against Verstappen. Another hope...

Vettel was pants in his last years in F1. Why would he suddenly be quick again?

Ferrari just promoted a new Chief Race Strategy Engineer earlier this year! I was confident that last years terrible strategic blunders were a thing of the past. I guess not.

Blame this guy:

Depends on whether they'd be open to adjusting the car to suit Seb or not. It seems they won't with Checo.

LOL< Damn spelling correctors

What the hell did you type that it corrected to suppressed?

 

[caroper]

What the hell did you type that it corrected to suppressed?

I am chronically Dyslexic so the original word could almost appear random, sometimes I get the spelling correct but the word is almost backwards. Always looks fine to me unless a red line appears underneath.

Kubayi Checo!
