Ferrari have confirmed the departure of Pat Fry and Nikolas Tombazis from the Scuderia, amidst a reorganisation that started when new team principal Maurizio Arrivabene came in charge. Arrivabene, Managing Director of {Ferrari}’s Gestione Sportiva and Team Principal of Scuderia Ferrari, has restructured his team with a flatter structure and clear assignment of responsibilities.

Very true, the deal may have paid off if their car was faster (=> at least one or two titles), but because it wasn't, possibly also due to the high investment for Alonso, they have to pet their diva even more than before (don't take this wrong, he is the fastest driver on the grid in my opinion). I still believe that they picked up Kimi because they see Fred leaving at the end of this season, and can pick up Hulk or maybe even Bianci behind Kimi - dare I add Sebto this mix. Kimi is happy to have an income for a year, and simply has to wait until Fred is gone. BUT, if that was Stefano's plan, then Kimi could be in for a surprise...munudeges wrote:Well, the essential truth is that it hasn't brought them any championships and it's severely hampered their constructors' position. I'm afraid the reality is beginning to bite hard at Ferrari because no one can fund their constructors' position for very much longer.CBeck113 wrote:It's called "Return on Investment"Bob Brown wrote:Why do 99% of Ferrari statements about improving the team/car all talk about retaining/pleasing/making life better for Alonso, and not just say "the drivers"?
Does Alonso (and his fan base) need that much reassurance?
Show me proof. You said the same thing last year and you were wrong. Do you ever get tired of bashing Ferrari? You even argued with DaveW about their front suspension. Do you know who DaveW is? He is THE SUSPENSION GURU in the UK racing scene.munudeges wrote:Well, that's slightly odd considering they were going to part ways last season.........bhall wrote:Mattiacci has stated that his first priority is to make sure the team retains Alonso.
Yeah sorry. This url http://www.omnicorse.it/magazine/37803/ ... er-reagire says they're gonna have major engine mods for Canada, among other things, that all/some are being tested this week in Spain. ferrari-cosa-manca-alla-squadra is more less what's wrong with the team.George-Jung wrote:It doesn't say (in google translate) that they use a new engine..
It's very well known Ferrari and Alonso had a major falling out around the time of the Hungarian Grandprix last year (you didn't need to be Einstein to see it) when Alonso was trying to engineer a move to Red Bull and with the comments he made. Hulkenberg was all set to go there but because Ferrari didn't know if Alonso would be off Raikkonen was actually signed as his replacement. In the end it proved to be too difficult for Ferrari and Alonso to untangle their commercial commitments.Pierce89 wrote:Show me proof. You said the same thing last year and you were wrong.

How do you know whether the tunnel is giving correct results or not if you don't measure the way the air is moving around the car?diffuser wrote:Is the wind tunnel still not correlating?Do you ever get tired of bashing Ferrari?

How do you think they confirm that?diffuser wrote:I don't. I'M just saying that with all the testing, they are able to confirm as they go along. As opposed to not knowing till it's too late.
