The decision Frederic Vasseur made to avoid ‘alienating’ Ferrari F1 staff
On Thursday it was confirmed Ferrari had moved their former head of strategy Inaki Rueda 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:out of the line of fire, with Ravin Jain taking on the high-pressu🐼re role for the upcoming season.🦹
The significant changes have been made in the wake of the high-profile strategic blun🍨ders that were partly to blame for Ferrari’s dramatic championship capitulation last year.
It has been suggested that the decision to move Rueda into a factory-based role was a🦋𝓡lready planned by former Ferrari boss Mattia Binotto, before being carried out by his replacement Vasseur.
Sk🐎y Sports F1 pitlane reporter Ted Kravitz believeꦛs Vasseur has favoured a more calculated approach in his early decision-making since taking over at the helm of Ferrari.
“Ruꦕthless would have been clearing out the whole strategy department and then hiring in his old friend Ruth Buscom🃏be, the British engineer who is head of strategy at Alfa Romeo Sauber,” Kravitz said.
“He hasn’t done that at Ferrari. He could have done, becaꦆuse Alfa Romeo Sauber is kind of a partner team of Ferrari, so he could have had his pick of the Sauber pit wall if he🍸 wanted a new strategy group.
“But that would have alienated a lot of people at Ferrari. So what he’s done is to re-asse𝓰mble some things. Ravin Jain was the chief strategist, Inaki Rueda was the head of strategy. Rueda has been moved to a different role and Jain has been moved up.
“But it’s symptomatic of the tools they use as well. But Ruth Buscombe knows very well you are only 𒀰as good as the predictor tools that you have.
“Vasseur will have to make sure that the strategists have the right tools to work with, because it’s not only a strategist pﷺulling an idea out of h꧑is or her head, they are only as good as the computer tools that they work with."
