Ferrari has announced the signing of two key members of the Mercedes team – Loic Serra and Jerome d’Ambrosio – who will both start work later this year. Serra has been at Mercedes for 14 years, holding various positions including head of vehicle dynamics and performance director. Serra will now head chassis performance engineering at Ferrari, reporting to Enrico Cardile. Alongside Serra, d’Ambrosio will become deputy team principal to Fred Vasseur and head of the Ferrari Driver Academy. Both appointments are set to begin on October 1 this year. Ferrari’s recent moves come amid Lewis Hamilton’s future plans to join the team in 2025 and Adrian Newey’s speculated departure from Red Bull to Ferrari. Ferrari is currently second in the constructors’ championship, trailing Red Bull by 52 points.
