F1, Ferrari: Fred Vasseur considering changes to strategy department to counter Red Bull. Frederic Vasseur would like to make further changes to the strategy department.

“There is still something missing in Ferrari’s race management,” Sky Sport Italy analyst Matteo Bobbi stated in a recent interview a few days ago. In 2023, there have certainly been improvements on the strategy side, although Frederic Vasseur would like to make further changes to a department that, in Ferrari, still shows signs of weakness.

According to some rumors, it seems that the former Team Principal of Alfa Romeo would like to continue the reorganization program started already last year by further improving the strategy department. In 2023, Frederic Vasseur made several changes within the Scuderia with the goal of addressing some of the problems that have marked Ferrari’s recent past.

Among the names that have caught Frederic Vasseur’s attention, there seems to be Ruth Buscombe, the former head of strategy at Sauber. If everything were to materialize, it would be a return to Maranello for Ruth Buscombe, as she has already worked at Ferrari from 2012 to 2015.

Furthermore, at the end of the 2023 Formula One season, the engineer announced her departure from Alfa Romeo, fueling speculation about her possible move to Frederic Vasseur’s team.

For now, these are just rumors, but there is a sense that something in terms of personnel needs to change in Maranello to try to compete with Red Bull. In this regard, it is still to be understood who the technicians are that Frederic Vasseur has hired and who were widely talked about during the past Formula One season.
