Ferrari is looking to hire a senior Formula 1 personnel from McLaren to become Lewis Hamilton’s new race engineer, following the departure of Riccardo Adami. The decision was prompted by concerns over the lack of chemistry between Hamilton and Adami. This change comes at a crucial time as Hamilton aims to bounce back from a challenging first season with Ferrari. Carlo Santi, a former engineer to Kimi Raikkonen, is expected to be re-hired part-time while Ferrari awaits a potential new engineer from McLaren, likely Cedric-Michel Grosjean. Grosjean, who previously served as McLaren’s Lead Trackside Performance Engineer, would face a new challenge if he joins Ferrari. In the meantime, Bryan Bozzi, Charles Leclerc’s race engineer, will support Hamilton during pre-season testing.
