sport">In a statement, Ferrari says the team will have a more focused and simplified structure, with the leaders of each department “given the necessary powers to achieve their goals.” There will also be a separate performance development department, which will be managed by Enrico Cardile. “The Cardile department can count on the experience of Rory Byrne and established engineers such as David Sanchez. It will be the cornerstone of the car’s development, ”said Binotto. “A change of course was needed to define clear lines of responsibility and work processes.”
sport">South African designer Byrne, who is 76, was a key figure during Ferrari’s golden age at the turn of the century with seven-time champion Michael Schumacher. Jean Todt was in charge at the time and Ross Brawn was technical director. Kimi Räikkönen last gave Ferrari the world title in 2007.
sport">Binotto asks critics for patience: “We have said it several times, but it is worth repeating it again: we are now laying the foundation for a process that should lead to a new and lasting profit cycle. That will take some time. Setbacks like this are part of that. ”
