Ferrari is recruiting from Mercedes
Since his arrival in Maranello, Frederic Vasseur has been wanting to hire a top engineer. His name is now known. It will be Loïc Serra, director of performance at Mercedes.
Since taking over as head of Ferrari last January, Frédéric Vasseur has wanted to recruit a top engineer to work on the 2025 car.
If Pierre Waché, technical director at Red Bull, was considered to join Italy and Maranello, the Frenchman should ultimately continue with the Austrian brand. Ultimately, it is Loïc Serra who has signed with Ferrari, announces formu1a.uno.
The Italian media affirms it, the Frenchman from Mercedes will be arriving at Ferrari to prepare the 2025 car alongside seven other engineers who will be working on the aerodynamics of the future racecars.
At Mercedes since 2019
The Frenchman, who will join his compatriot Frédéric Vasseur, specializes in the handling of F1 car suspensions. Since 2019, Loïc Serra held the position of Performance Director at Mercedes.
The engineer is familiar with the world of Formula 1. He started his career with the Sauber team before moving to BMW, still in F1 at the time. Loïc Serra was then recruited by the German team, Mercedes, in 2010.
According to formu1a.uno, he should work on optimizing the aerodynamic platform and also deepen the study of air mechanics to ensure that the single-seater has the best possible aerodynamic concept.
