Enrico Cardile is no longer Ferrari's technical director. This decision was reached after Lance's father, Lawrence Stroll, accepted the offer to sponsor his Aston Martin. The 49-year-old Tuscan's role in England will be primarily managerial. Cardile will not serve as technical director, as he did in Maranello, where he was responsible for the design of the chassis, which is a critical component of performance, including the engine, suspension, and tires. He will be tasked with coordinating the various operational areas in order to fill a team gap that has emerged this season. As a result, the situation at Ferrari quickly became even more chaotic than anticipated. The Ferrari drivers' dream is for Adrian Newey to replace the Tuscan, but reality tells us that the former Red Bull DT has yet to decide on his future, having been tempted by a lucrative offer from Aston Martin and spotted at the McLaren headquarters in the interim. The Briton will not be able to announce the decision before September. Meanwhile, Loïc Serra, who joined Maranello from Mercedes earlier this year, could take over the role of Cardile in the near future. The 52-year-old French, who was previously the head of performance in Brackley, has never held such a position, and many fans still hope to see Newey in red.
