Even poaching Adrian Newey from Red Bull would not solve Ferrari’s current performance problems. That is the view of famous former Ferrari driver Jean Alesi, responding to former Ferrari tester Daniil Kvyat’s view that the Maranello team needs “a technical revolution”. “The team has a new boss,” said the Russian and former Red Bull driver, “but perhaps they should have hired engineers from other teams. Frenchman Alesi, however, thinks Ferrari’s new team boss Frederic Vasseur simply needs more time to deliver. Alesi said Vasseur needs to stay calm and prioritise “reliability, performance, stability”. Alesi also insists that the only “number 1” at Ferrari is Vasseur.
