Ferrari the car company is doing great. He was brought in because he's technically brilliant and can lead Ferrari into the software-defined vehicle age.
I don't think his impact on the F1 team is measurable at this point. That's mostly on Elkann.

Great so bringing in the Goat designer with the Goat driver is squandered. Ferrari could literally have had the most legends in one place but decided that the share of power is more important.

Now we know someone doesnt want to share power with Newey. According to BBC it was Vigna.
Sounds to me they realized some new machining feature on the existing Barcelona spec. Doing so on 4 floors should take a couple days, it could mean losing some df for better stability.RacePaceDemon wrote: ↑18 Jul 2024, 02:59Maybe it means it was a last minute decision to bring it? There seems to be smoke and mirrors in Ferrari right now. Newey coming, oh no he's not. Changing the suspension next year, oh no they're not. Tells me things are changing fast
The first one to report about a switch to a front pull rod suspension was Nugnes
Or maybe all this information is and was always bad information. It often is in sports journalism, and especially F1 where so much happens behind closed doors.RacePaceDemon wrote: ↑17 Jul 2024, 22:39Great so bringing in the Goat designer with the Goat driver is squandered.

I agree hence my "if the rumours are true" comment.Seanspeed wrote: ↑18 Jul 2024, 17:23Or maybe all this information is and was always bad information.

Ferrari have been trying to get Newey for many years. It is hard for me to believe that they somehow had him in their hands and would balk at some salary demand or 'power sharing' dispute.
We just know so little and this is why sports journalists tend to be the most pond scum scraping types, because they need to invent stories and drama where there really is just so little to actually go on.
