The Corporate Way and Scuderia Ferrari

The race results will speak for themselves

 

LdM has big Agnelli pressure on him. His ideas are years too late. Now he wants to be more in contact with the team. Time will tell. I have very little faith and think with the new formula it's time for him to leave so others can work and lead the new era.

 

I think Mattiacci was brought in to see where the communication or lack of, between departments are, and maybe because he isn't intimidated to let LDM know what they need as far as personnel, money and show him where their weak spots are.

 

Right. If you read the interview with M and LDM you will see how he mentioned "going to market" for people if necessary. I fear they got a little stagnant after Schumi's incredible run. Then there were the wind tunnel issues. This was a big change in formula and MB going cold side was radical and significant enough to be difficult to catch. Watch them all be cold side next year.

 

I think we have all seen that the Scuderia will be lucky if they are able to garner a podium at any race. MB has the drivetrain to beat this year...

 

My hunch is that they will re group as they get to Europe and will have more moderate success by the mid - end of the season. Shoot for 2nd or 3rd in the drivers championship... 2nd in mfg would be a huge win.

there will be an exodus from Ferrari of the non essential people - as the screws get turning the folks who are there for a huge pay day will go as it becomes clear they are not delivering value for $$ that is the result of a business guy in charge.

as for technical development - that will be a problem. My sense is Brawn is about the only guy they can plump up for that has any chops left... and or Maybe - my own wave lenght here - go for Gordon Murray... I read recently in an article that he "had one more F-1" in him... why not?

 

LdM is no fool, he's done it all so if anyone knows how to get the team going again he is the most likely.

He was the one responsible for JT coming to the team and I credit Todt with most of Ferrari's success ...... Schuey may have had a little to do with it as well but if all the backend processes aren't working the greatest driver will not win

 

A fish rots from the head down.

 

Agreed. Luca has a very sparse resume, not sure how he even still has a job.

 

Analysis ? F1 2014 the story so far: FerrariJames Allen on F1 ? The official James Allen website on F1 // F1 News // James Allen on F1 ? The official James Allen website on F1

 

He better not lose this one, the elderly find it hard to get jobs and what has he done of any note

 

After reading that article and seeing F14T several times throughout the article, why do I feel like I should be driving a FIAT ??

 

LOL

 

At first I thought the choice of Mattiacci was weird. But maybe his management skills can be applied here to good use. The problem with the Ferrari F1 cars is a technical one, but sometimes good management of a technical team can improve the quality and performance of the technology produced by the team.

It's good LdM is focusing on the personnel structure within the team. Better late than never.

That was cool. Thanks for sharing it.

Cheers,

Ldm is a Clown hack lawyer who never does anything but point his finger or tell the team you have all the tools the only tool is that clown hack lawyer ldm . He is the same guy who push micheal and Ross out the door than got mad the guys in car factory respected the little french men who was a racer . Two bad the banker brothers passed in the early 00s . Ldm has nothing to do with savings Ferrari but to be the Italy face in the media after they passed that worm ldm back stabbed all the people In the company who where better than himself look how that gone for Ferrari

 

The Firings will continue until moral improves.

 

I think they may be suffering from automotive cabin fever, Italian style.

 

This.

 

Lol, what? Are you serious?

 

Pretty sure he's done with F1. I think he's referring to the McLaren F1, I.e. he's going to design one more supercar

Forget morale. How about performance? Are you happy with the status quo? Do you, and Mulehead for that matter, think that if LdM left today, with no other change, performance of the team would improve? I don't.

LdM built the super team in the '00's. Maybe he did destroy it years later (can anyone confirm this or is it just internet rumor?) but he could rebuild it again.

Hack lawyer. LOL.
