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澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:out of the line of fire, with Ravin Jain taking o🍷n the hi♔gh-pressure role for the upcoming season.
The significant changes have been made in the wake of the high-profile strategic ꩵblunders 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 r𒀰ole was already planned by former Ferrari boss Mattia Binotto, before being carried out by his replacement Vasseur.
Sky Sports F1 pitlane reporter Ted Kravitz believes🐈 Vasseur has favoured a more calculated approach in his early decision-making since taking over at the he♐lm of Ferrari.
“Ruthless would have been clearing o👍ut the whole strategy department and then hiring in his old friend Ruth Buscombe, 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, because Alfa Romeo Sauber is kind of a partner team of Ferrari, so he could have had his pi༒ck 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-assemble some things. Ravin Jain was the chief strategist, Inaki Rueda was the head of strat♊egy. Rueda has been moved to a different role and Jain ඣhas been moved up.
“But it’s symptomatic of the tools they use as well. But Ruth Buscombe knows very well you are only as good as the predictor tools that you have.&꧂nbsp;
“Vasseur will have to make sure that the strategists have the right tools to work with, because it’s not only a strategist pulling an idea out o🔯f his or her head, they are ⭕only as good as the computer tools that they work with."
