What are you guys' headcanons for what the foxes' majors would be? (as in alternative majors that you think they would take, not their canon ones)

So, it happened. Here’s the thing: Binotto out doesn’t necessarily have to be a bad thing.

And no matter which way you spin it he just wasn’t a good leader and should never have been in a Team Principal position, not to mention he certainly should never have occupied the Technical Director and Team Principal position at the same time, that’s madness. But he wanted to be the top dog so bad they let him get what he wants just so he wouldn’t leave. And his tenure was... a mixed bag.

2019 looked promising, until it became obvious that they can’t quite mount a title challenge like they could in previous years. Then the “illegal engine” fiasco. By all means, create an ingenious grey area solution to make your car faster, no problems there. But then have the political prowess to defend it. Maybe it’s an unpopular opinion, but I can’t see RB or Mercedes being hit so hard by the “illegal engine” saga, I mean, to the point where they end up in the midfield? Come on. Nothing happened with Merc’s DAS, they were allowed to use it for the rest of the year even though the technology officially became outlawed for the future. RB gets away with basically a slap on the wrist for creative accounting. TD039 (this year’s technical directive) was introduced after Mercedes pushed for it. Who did it hit hardest? Ferrari. Like them or hate them, Horner and Wolff are both strong leaders who will pull out all the stops if they see an opportunity for their respective teams, and the consequences are usually minimal.

So, Binotto is given credit for getting Ferrari out of a midfield rut (you can question whether they should’ve avoided ending up in that position in the first place). Great. Carte blanche for 2022, he can do whatever he wants, as long as he delivers the ultimate goal (the championship). Because that... was the goal, at least at the beginning, and it came from his own mouth. Of course, that was the problem with Binotto, this inconsistency, contradiction, constant verbal moving of the goalposts. Maybe a handful of victories is enough. Maybe just showing up to compete is enough. Who knows.

A few promising victories followed by a string of reliability issues (which are, to be honest, forgivable, considering it’s year one of the new regulation cycle), bizarre strategy calls, lack of authority regarding team orders (this is the same man who wasn’t afraid to pull the trigger Piglet when it came to Seb and Charles in 2019 btw, and that wasn’t a title contending year), lack of clear driver hierarchy, modifications that actually make the car slower (but more comfortable for one of the drivers, such success), a dogged defense of said bizarre strategies to the media (including a childish shunning of any journalist who dared disagree that Hungary was a resounding strategic success), patronizing behaviour and frequent undermining comments regarding one’s own driver (the finger-wagging incident and borderline gaslighting whenever Charles suggested the strategy/tyre wear/etc. might’ve been what failed them). And all of that to deliver a grand total of four wins in a twenty two race season (but I thought there’s no reason they can’t win 10 races in a row? 🤔).

Now. Do Ferrari’s problems extend beyond Binotto? Yes. Should they, ideally, continue overhauling the trackside team (starting with Rueda)? Absolutely. That doesn’t mean, however, that one man should be virtually “unfireable,” especially when he proves he’s unfit for the position he currently occupies. Being a skilled engineer doesn’t necessarily make one suitable for a public, media-facing position. He doesn’t have the pull, the charisma, for that. And that’s fine! But it does become a problem when he had insisted on taking that role. Ideally he would’ve returned to the factory to continue being an engineer, resuming his pre-2019 role. Perhaps he was offered such a position, we don’t know. I doubt Ferrari wanted to lose him altogether. Unfortunately, it seems his personal ambition and ego stood in the way of him accepting anything less than full-blooded leadership, which is why he resigned.

Well there's one turbine engine (mostly) disassembled :] If I remember right, this little guy has 600 horsies inside, that's a lot of ponies!

Still got more to do with Allison's specialty tools. Going to take these turbine sections and the compressor down to it's basic parts. Fun stuff! Can't wait to start playing with the other types of big round engines here in a few weeks. 😁

I wonder if Sanchez left Ferrari on his own accord for a better position elsewhere or if he left by "mutual agreement" because they're cleaning up the team 👀

2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD - TDP Review

Discussion of Vasseur having difficulty hiring in boffins due to previous treatment of recruited employees under prior management.

Frederic Vasseur is trying to renew Ferrari's technical team and is looking for new specialists. So far he has reportedly managed to attract Mercedes performance director Luc Serra. Through him he tried to talk to Red Bull technical boss Pierre Vaché, but there was no success. Even if he found good engineers, however, the Ferrari boss was having problems. According to the famous Italian journalist Leo Turrini, one of the reasons for them is that in Formula 1 they are well aware of the treatment of James Allison while he was technical director of Scuderia."

Linking to a reddit thread as it includes the english translation (via deepl) and indicates related references. This particular bulgarian source is unfamiliar to me but cites a Leo Turrini piece from summer 2023 which i can't be arsed to track down atm no doubt others can call to hand.

ETA. It was on Turrini's August 17, 2023 blog. Is this just him throwing shit at the wall? IDK. Obviously the newly bereaved Allison was in a special circumstance and I'm sure the complicated politics / revolving management wouldn't make it easy for anyone.
