David Sanchez is the last of the “illustrious” names that have left Scuderia Ferrari in the last period. Before him, Inaki Rueda, Jonathan Giacobazzi and Gino Rosato left the Maranello team. For Ferrari, now more than ever, it is necessary to intervene on the market to strengthen the internal workforce.
If the focus is on internal replacements in the short term, Frederic Vasseur still has every intention of moving quickly. In fact, the French manager, since arriving at Ferrari, has never concealed the fact that he wanted to “look around” if it proved necessary. Thus, Maranello team will abandon the “Italian” model of enhancing internal resources, imposed at the time by Sergio Marchionne, albeit gradually.
Alex Cinelli: a possible return in red
And so the name of Alex Cinelli has popped up at the top of the Ferrari Team Principal’s list. He was a key figure during Ferrari’s golden era and, more recently, the right-hand man of Frederic Vasseur in Alfa Romeo, Alex Cinelli would be a welcome return.
In fact, it seems that the Ferrari team boss intends to bring to Maranello the men who helped him in his experience in Alfa Romeo. In addition to Alex Cinelli, in fact, several rumors report a possible return of Simone Resta, also a former Ferrari (who previously worked at Scuderia Ferrari from 2001 to 2018, and from 2019 to 2020, as a senior design engineer, head of the R&D department, deputy chief design director and from 2014 to 2018, as Chief Designer) and currently in Alfa Romeo.

What is certain is that the time has come for Frederic Vasseur to demonstrate his ability on the transfer market. The moment is difficult, but at the same time the Frenchman is aware that he cannot be satisfied with the promotion of the second lines from Maranello.
At the same time, Ferrari left for Jeddah with the aim of seeing the real potential of the SF-23 car. A healthy doze of enthusiasm would be more crucial than ever for the morale of the men in red.
