James Allison wasn't fired by Ferrari because of the 2014 car, he left in 2016 because of the death of his wife and he wanted to go back to UK to stay with his family.

I also don't remember him being responsbile for the F14T. His first Ferrari car was with the 2015.
I read that he was fired instead but you could be right. Perhaps the guys over at the Ferrari thread know better, I'll ask them.

Ferrari wanted him back in Maranello full time instead and Marchione wanted him there asap. They agreed to part ways in July that year, Allison obviously couldn't leave his children alone in that situation. He was chassis TD since mid-2013 and full TD soon afterwards
Yeah, that's not how I see it. The CTO has Veto power but is there to share responsibility with the TD. The TD still has the same TD job. The TD now has someone to bounce stuff off of. The people that report to the TD don't all of a sudden report to the CTO.
If Cardile arrives after Newey, and we consider the time for his onboarding on the team it will take a lot to start to influence the car.
So that article ...there were several others based on an interview Krack gave end of September early October. It doesn't say a copy approach.Nikosar wrote: ↑16 Oct 2024, 22:13If Cardile arrives after Newey, and we consider the time for his onboarding on the team it will take a lot to start to influence the car.
The following article is suggesting a copy approach : https://www.motorsportweek.com/2024/10/ ... blueprint/
McLaren started their path the last season and we are yet to start the investigation now.
Yes, one thing I would probably be confident in is that AMR will probably have, one of if not the best, aerodynamically efficient cars within a couple of years of the new regs. I say a couple of years coz FIA can be corrupt in rule interpretations and allow loop holes like the double diffuser if its done by their favorite teams. So race wins might be on the table. Title wins is another story all together.
If they are on the right path, this shouldn't be a problem. They may take a step back for a couple of races but should be back to the same level or better after that, if not immediately. McLaren had an immediate jump when the brought their new concept. This is all conditional on it being the right solution though.
