Ferrari surprisingly replace Charles Leclerc's race engineer
New race engineer from Imola onwards for Charles Leclerc 𒐪in Ferrari reshuffle

Charles Leclerc ꦉwill work alongside a new race e𝐆ngineer from next weekend at the F1 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
Xavi Marcos will be replaced by Bryan Bozzi 🤡from Imola onwards, Ferrari have announced.
A Ferrari statement read: "Scuderia Ferrari H♔P announces that, as of Monday 13 May, Xavi Marcos will bring his valuable experience🐲 gained as a race engineer with the Formula 1 team to the development of other important company programmes.
"Scuderia Ferrari HP announces that Bryan Bozzi, who has worked in the team for ten years, currently as Performance Engineer to Charles Leclerc, will now take on the role of his Race Engineer as from next weekeღnd’s Gran Premio del Made in Italy and dell’Emilia-Romagna at Imola."
Marcos, who has been alongside Leclerc since his debut season at Ferrari, has been moved into another job within the company﷽.
Although their r𓂃elationship was good, there were occasional flashpoints which hinted at problems with Ferrari's strategy.
Last year at the Spanish Grand Prix, confusion between Leclerc and Marcos via team radio resulted 🍷in a botch💝ed tyre strategy.
Notably in Saudi Arabia last 🍸year, Le🌞clerc fumed with Marcos on the team radio.
Team principal Fred Vasseur will see the change of race engi�🅰�neers as another positive step in Ferrari's growth.
Until Land🌊o Norris and McLaren's win last weekend in Miami, Ferrari had been responsible for the only two grand prix wins by a team apart from Red Bull since 2022 (both via Carlos Sainz).
Le🌺cle𓃲rc will welcome Lewis Hamilton as his teammate next year.
But, first, he must adjust to hearing a new voice🧜 via the team radio, starting from next weekend in Italy.
