Riccardo Adami, the race engineer of Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari, has been “moved to a new role” within the Scuderia ahead of this year’s Formula 1 World Championship.
Riccardo Adami, Lewis Hamilton’s race engineer at Ferrari, has been reassigned to a new role within the team for the upcoming Formula 1 World Championship. Adami, who previously worked with Sebastian Vettel and Carlos Sainz, joined Ferrari in 2015 to support Hamilton’s transition from Mercedes. Following a series of subpar results and reported tension with Hamilton, Adami will now manage Ferrari’s Driver Academy and Test Previous Cars program. Despite speculation about their relationship, both Team Principal Fred Vasseur and Hamilton denied any rift. The new race engineer for car #44 will be named later, likely before pre-season testing in January. Adami’s track record includes stints at Red Bull’s Toro Rosso and Minardi, making his move to Ferrari in 2015 alongside Vettel. His replacement is expected to work with Hamilton as they aim to enhance Ferrari’s performance culture in the upcoming season.
