Ferrari Yet to Name Hamilton's Race Engineer as Testing Begins

Karun Chandhok warns the unresolved role could undermine preparation given the importance of a tight driver–engineer bond.

Overview

  • Ferrari confirmed earlier this month that Riccardo Adami will not continue as Lewis Hamilton's race engineer after their 2025 pairing.
  • No replacement has been announced during the Barcelona shakedown, leaving Hamilton to work with interim support this week.
  • Chandhok said Bryan Bozzi, Charles Leclerc's race engineer, was running the car on Tuesday, including for Hamilton.
  • The Sky Sports F1 analyst argued Ferrari missed winter opportunities for simulator work or a TPC outing to build a new partnership.
  • Hamilton's first Ferrari season brought a sprint win in China but no grand prix podiums, with on-air radio friction highlighting communication issues.
