Lewis Hamilton has been warned about the ongoing speculation regarding his new Formula 1 race engineer for his second season with Ferrari. Recent favorite for the position is Cedric-Michel Grosjean, a former Lead Trackside Performance Engineer at McLaren. Currently, Bryan Bozzi, Charles Leclerc’s race engineer, is temporarily doubling his duties to work with Hamilton as well. However, former F1 driver Karun Chandhok is concerned about the lack of integration time for Hamilton and his new engineer. Chandhok believes that the relationship-building between Hamilton and the new engineer should have started earlier to avoid potential issues on the race track. The short time frame for bonding and integration might put both parties at a disadvantage in the upcoming season.
