As ever in F1, it's rarely just about the drivers on track... ScuderiaFerrari RedBull Formula1
Laurent Mekies, and one of the key technicians behind Red Bull’s mighty DRS, reportedly play major roles in quite the behind-the-scenes battle going on between Ferrari and Red Bull.
This then of course falls far short of the Scuderia’s lofty ambitions to taste title glory for themselves once more, but as Ferrari set about breaking down the Red Bull walls on-track, it is what is reportedly happening behind closed doors which will lay the key foundations in this quest.
But, could Ferrari now have the answer to that critical Red Bull advantage? Rumour has it according to Motorsport.com that a key player in creating this magic DRS is already now at work for Ferrari in Maranello. While data transfers are forbidden between teams, it is not possible to erase what a person stores in their head after all.
With AlphaTauri having confirmed the impending departure of their team boss Franz Tost, Mekies has been named as his successor, AlphaTauri of course the sister team of Red Bull. Motorsport.com state that when Mekies does ultimately move to AlphaTauri, the signs are pointing towards Ferrari’s senior performance engineer Jock Clear and their chief engineer, vehicle operations Diego Ioverno taking on those duties between them.
