Is Ferrari's search for a team boss already over? F1
Is Ferrari’s next F1 team boss right under their noses after Mattia Binotto exit?A respected Formula 1 observer believes the solution to the problem at Ferrari is right under their noses in the shape of senior performance engineer Jock Clear.following the resignation ofIn a statement released last week, Ferrari announced their intention to appoint a new team boss in the new year with Alfa Romeo’s Frederic Vasseur said to be the leading candidate.
“For me, they’ve got a really good guy there and he’s called Jock Clear and it was very clear, even when he left Williams to go to BAR with Jacques Villeneuve, that Jock was quite capable of thinking beyond the envelope of a car and the garage and the engineering process of that car. “If I was in a position on the Fiat board, I would be thinking, ‘let’s do something here, let’s give Jock Clear some authority and see how he gets on because this guy has been there, done that and he’s got a good brain, knows what he’s talking about and he’s respected up and down the pit lane.
“But the problem is there’s always been this strategy group between Jock and the race/performance engineers on the car and it’s never been very linear and now maybe it will be a better Ferrari purely because of that. “He would do a good job. Lovely guy, runs Pirelli really well and he would run Ferrari really well,” he said.The abiding image of Binotto’s final season of his 28-year Ferrari career came shortly after the finish of July’s British GP, when the soon-to-be former team principal pointed his finger in the face of his star driver Leclerc in parc ferme.
