Leclerc and Marcos: End of a 5-year partnership
It will be an unusual situation for Leclerc. The Monegasque and Xavier Marcos have been a team since 2019. Marcos previously worked as an engineer at the Maranello factory. The Spaniard previously worked for HRT and Williams in the premier class. Leclerc, on the other hand, moved from Sauber to Ferrari after the end of the 2018 Formula 1 season. Carlo Santi previously worked with Kimi Raikkönen at Scuderia.
Xavi Marcos’ new position is unknown. Ferrari only says that Marcos is now working on other important programs within the organization. However, Ferrari does not reveal an exact position. He is best known for saying: “We are checking” on the Ferrari radio.
But he also repeatedly caused a stir through other radio messages. In China he repeatedly discussed a “horizontal line” when cornering with Charles Leclerc. Leclerc, on the other hand, seemed confused and kept asking what exactly this horizontal line was.
Leclerc’s new race engineer: Bryan Bozzi
In Imola, Bryan Bozzi will be listening to Charles Leclerc’s radio. He had previously worked as a performance engineer for Leclerc.
From Ferrari it says: “Scuderia Ferrari announces that Bryan Bozzi, who has worked for the team for ten years, currently as performance engineer for Charles Leclerc, will take over his role from next weekend’s Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix in Imola race engineer will take over.”
