Ferrari continues recruitment campaign: new technicians from rival teams on their way. John Elkann and Fréd Vasseur have finalized the transfer of around twenty engineers to Ferrari.

It’s been a headline for over two weeks now: Lewis Hamilton will be a Ferrari driver from 2025. An agreement that marks the signing of the century for the F1 Circus, giving life to the union between the team and the most successful driver in the history of the sport. A move that seems to have been strongly desired by John Elkann, the president of the Prancing Horse, driven by admiration for the Briton and the benefits that the seven-time champion will bring.

Furthermore, this agreement demonstrates the Scuderia’s determination to return to winning ways. It adds to the other moves made by the head of Stellantis to lift the Italian team back to the top. In the last year, he appointed a new team principal, recruited new technicians, and renewed Charles Leclerc’s contract, forming a dream team with the addition of the Englishman. However, these moves do not seem to be over. In addition to the seven-time champion coming to Maranello, they appear ready to send a new signal to Formula 1 and their fans.

According to reports from “Motorsport.com,” John Elkann and Fréd Vasseur have reportedly finalized the transfer of around twenty engineers to Italy. These engineers, not necessarily of the highest level, will be coming from various rival teams in the coming months to strengthen the technical staff of the Scuderia. They will bring new ideas and share their know-how acquired from the competition.

“Technicians who were hesitant to come to the Ferrari Racing Division after a determined courtship by Fred Vasseur and his emissaries have accepted the challenge: in the coming months, we will see about twenty new faces in important roles. They may not necessarily be top-tier figures but specialists capable of making a concrete contribution to strengthening areas that still need reinforcement in Maranello.”

The arrival of new technicians, as mentioned, provides fresh impetus to the renaissance of the Prancing Horse that began last season and will hopefully culminate in 2025 with the arrival of Lewis Hamilton.

“[…] Laying the foundation for a Ferrari that perhaps can think big with the arrival of the seven-time world champion.”
