Ferrari team principal Maurizio Arrivabene pins hopes on continual development rather then on revolutionary packages. The Italian is hopeful that his squad can keep up with its big rival Mercedes and can establish itself as a serious title-contender this year.
It goes on to suggest that, to fill Allison’s current position, Ferrari could re-hire Aldo Costa, its former designer who is now working with roaring success at dominant champions Mercedes.
Autosprint even said an agreement between Ferrari and Mercedes could be reached so that Costa does not need to serve the customary ‘gardening leave’.
Why would Costa like to re-join Ferrari after he was sacked and blamed for the lack of success?GPR-A wrote:Aha... Ferrari again !!! Why should Red Bull have all the fun.
ALLISON TO REPLACE ARRIVABENE AS FERRARI TEAM CHIEF?

At this point, it is all rumors I guess. But, there is a reason why Costa would want to go back to Maranello. It was the previous management that sacked him and new management might be more appeasing? May be they understand, it was a mistake to have fired him. After all the guy has proved that it was indeed a mistake.Vasconia wrote:Why would Costa like to re-join Ferrari after he was sacked and blamed for the lack of success?GPR-A wrote:Aha...

Not at least trying to get through Q2 in China seemed a fairly major oversight which ended up making little difference for other reasons but didn't seem like the actions of an optimal operation.giantfan10 wrote:Australia is the only poor race execution by the pit wall... the rest are mechanical issues and Kvyat...
Because Ferrari is Costa's 1st and only true love.. He said it when he was sacked and he even suggested back than that he could return in the future.Vasconia wrote:Why would Costa like to re-join Ferrari after he was sacked and blamed for the lack of success?GPR-A wrote:Aha...

Right, it can happen, but they seem to be struggling to get the best from the package consistently and I can't help but think the race team is not performing as well as last year. as opposed to the car being poor - I actually think it seems on the whole closer to the pace last year - but they are making set up/tyre/strategy mistakes.ME4ME wrote:Ferrari screwed up massivly today, and probably ruined their weekend.
But all is not lost yet. They showed good pace in FP3. The potential is there.
It looks like today Ferrari had issues similar to what Mercedes experienced in Singapore 2015. Conditions just went away from them. No heads need to role just yet - especially not the team principle's who has nothing to do with car & tyre setup.
