🗣️'There are some things we can transfer from F1 to this world so that is what I’m going to do this weekend.' Cyril Abiteboul plans to introduce practices honed in F1 to the Hyundai WRC squad at Rally Sweden to help it become more engineering-led ⬇️
The former Renault F1 boss is undertaking only his second WRC event as team principal after leading the team at Monte Carlo in January, but the Frenchman has already identified areas for improvement., engages with its drivers and its decision making process. Having spent the majority of his career working in F1 at Caterham and Renault, Abiteboul believes an F1-style approach in this area will benefit the WRC team.
"It is not a revolution because this team doesn’t not need revolution, and frankly I can say that there is no way I can bring a useful revolution due to my experience. “In my opinion we need to be stronger from an engineering perspective. That is going to be the centre of show. I want to have a bit more of a systematic way of how we do things.
Ozakinci's appointment, taking over from the departing Pablo Marcos, was a planned move before Abiteboul was installed as team principal. Ozakinci was an observer at Monte Carlo but will be put in command this weekend, although Marcos is on site to oversee the transition.Abiteboul has also confirmed that Julien Moncet, who led the team last year as its de-facto team principal under the deputy team director moniker, will return to heading up the powertrain division.
“To spend the joker, we need to understand where we are struggling and that is the information I’m lacking right now.
