Ferrari are set to dispense with their former head of strategy.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Inaki Rueda will be leaving the Formula 1 team before the 2024 season. Rueda served as the head of Ferrari’s strategy team for two years before being replaced by Ravin Jain last season. Although leaving his current F1 role, Rueda remains on good terms with the Italian brand and may find another position within the company. Ferrari has faced criticism in the past for their strategic decisions, but their reshuffle in the strategy department aims to make them more competitive. Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur has confirmed that 80 new employees will join the F1 team, including 40 replacements for those who have left. Among the notable departures, engineer Eric Meignan joined Renault, while Laurent Mekies has officially taken over as AlphaTauri team principal. With Vasseur continuing to reshape Ferrari, drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz hope for a strong second year and a return to challenging for race wins and the championship.
