Jerome d’Ambrosio may be the lowest-profile of the Ferrari’s trio of recruits from Mercedes, but he may have a very big long term impact
Jerome d’Ambrosio is a key figure in the Ferrari Formula 1 team, serving as deputy team principal and head of the Ferrari Driver Academy since October. With a background in both driving in F1 and team management, he brings valuable experience to his role. His assistance in helping Lewis Hamilton integrate into the team has been notable, despite Hamilton’s ability to quickly establish rapport with the team. D’Ambrosio emphasizes that his driving experience helps him understand the dynamics between driver and team, but he acknowledges the need to avoid falling into the trap of offering outdated advice to top drivers like Hamilton and Charles Leclerc. Overall, his role is essential in supporting team principal Fred Vasseur and ensuring the smooth functioning of the Ferrari team throughout the F1 season.
