Ferrari: New engineer for Räikkönen, Stella might join Alonso at McLaren?

Changes are expected in Ferrari’s organizational chart for the next season.

Indeed, Autosport reveals that Kimi Räikkönen is expected to change his race engineer. This role was filled this season by Antonio Spagnolo, but he is expected to take up a position at the Maranello factory.

His replacement should be the British David Greenwood, former chief engineer of the Marussia team, recruited by Ferrari after the cessation of activity of the British-Russian team. Autosport reports that he appeared in his new colors during the Abu Dhabi tests last week. His role, however, remains subject to confirmation.

This change would occur after a difficult 2014 season for the 2007 World Champion, during which British engineer David Lloyd had been called in to help bridge the gap between the Finn and his engineers.

At the same time, it has already been confirmed that Sebastian Vettel would be working on his side with Riccardo Adami, whom he knew from his time at Toro Rosso.

Another change is the very probable departure of Fernando Alonso’s race engineer, Andrea Stella, who is also expected to join McLaren. He would start with a role in race engineering but could take on more responsibilities in the long term within the Woking team.
