James Key could be the next Formula One engineer to join F1’s struggling giant Ferrari. Multiple media sources, including the authoritative Italian Motorsport inform that the Maranello based team is interested in Key, a 48-year-old Briton who currently works in Formula One as technical director for McLaren.
According to Motorsport.it, Scuderia Ferrari organization now looks like this: Mattia Binotto (team principal), Enrico Cardile (Head of Performance Development), Enrico Gualtieri (motorcycles), Matteo Togninalli (responsible for circuit engineers), Laurent Mekies (sports management), Simone Resta (responsible for chassis) and Inaki Rueda (strategic decisions).
The question now is whether these six are still one to one accountable to Mattia Binotto or whether a technical head should be appointed over these men. The change of Carlos Sainz could cause a remarkable change, because according to Motorsport.it is James Key a name that goes around in Maranello.
