Ferrari has made a key signing to help boost its technical team ahead of the 2026 rules reset.
Ferrari has made a significant addition to its F1 technical team by appointing a new head of aerodynamic development, Franck Sanchez, who will start in September 2025.
Sanchez, a veteran of the F1 world, joins Ferrari from the Sauber Group, where he held the position of chief aerodynamicist.
With experience at Toro Rosso/AlphaTauri and Toyota Motorsport, Sanchez brings a wealth of knowledge to his new role at Ferrari.
Despite a challenging F1 season so far, Ferrari is currently second in the constructors’ championship, closely followed by Mercedes and Red Bull.
Sanchez’s expertise will be crucial for Ferrari next year as the team prepares for the introduction of new technical regulations, prompting a likely rush for upgrades early in the season.
