Nobody can claim that Ferrari’s president John Elkan doesn’t think big.
His was the decision for Ferrari’s huge return in endurance racing at the top level, an effort that has been crowned so far with the 2023 Le Mans 24 hours victory – an historical and unique triumph.
His was the decision to hire Lewis Hamilton, a move that propelled Ferrari’s shares to the roof.
Loic Serra, Mercedes’s top man for vehicle dynamics starts work in Maranello on the second half of 2024 and twenty five more top technical men will follow suit.
We learn that Elkan has made a written offer “take it or leave it” to Adrian Newey of 120 million euros for three years.
Vasseur and Elkan desire to create a dream team that will sweep victories and titles in the years to come.
