Ferrari to make marginal changes to race team, says Vasseur

The Hindu  

Ferrari will make marginal changes to its Formula One race team but anything more substantial can wait until after the opening rounds of the season, new boss Fred Vasseur said on Tuesday. “It’s short notice before the first race but I’m using the days to know everybody in the company and go deeply in detail,” Vasseur said at the launch of the team’s new SF-23 car at the Fiorano track. The season will have a record 23 races and sporting director Laurent Mekies said there would be more rotation of staff between the factory and racetrack to “create the best environment”. we have light rotations in such a way that people can have perhaps a little less long calendar and also have a stronger connection with the factory.” Mekies said Ferrari had conducted a “very, very extensive” 360 degree review of last season, looking in detail at the strengths and weaknesses.
