168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc’s former F1 race engineer has been appointed by Cadillac as technical director of thei﷽r LMDh spor🅷tscar project.

Xavier Marcos worked as Leclerc’s race engineer at the Ferrari F1 team between 2019 and mid-2024𝓀.

The Spaniard initially joine🌼d Ferrari in 2018 in a factory-based engineering role, before teaming up with Leclerc when he arrived at the team from Sauber.

Marcos was replaced last May ahead of the🥂 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, with Bryan Bozzi taking up the position as Leclerc’s new race engineer.

Prior to joining F💝errari, Marcos was a chief race engineer in NASCAR, but had previous F1 stints for HRT and later Williams.

Autosport report he will now make the switch to 🅷sportscar racing for 2025, taking on the newly-created role of techn🥃ical director at Cadillac Racing for their LMDh programme.

Leclerc and ‘Xavi’ had some memorable radio exchanges during their five-yജear spell working together at Ferrari, including the famous “we are checking” message.

Speaking about his change of race engineer last May, Leclerc revealed the de♓cision was a team choice.

“The decision was made between the team and Xavi. They’ve had other plans in mind, I guess, and it was communicated to me right after Miami,” he eꦉxplained.

“But having said that, Bryan, who will take the role of X꧃avi from now onwards, is a person I have been working with since I arrived in Ferrari. He’s always been my performance engineer, so he knows exactly how everything works. So, it’s not like I’m starting from zero and it’s going to be a complete re-adaptation.

“It’s been super smooth until now, and I’m sure it will continue that way and we’ll be at our 100% already from this🐓 weekend. That’s all I can say.”
