Hamilton has an interim race engineer, McLaren rumor grows

For now, Ferrari is tight-lipped about who will become Hamilton’s permanent new race engineer.

For the time being, Carlo Santi could be holding the fort, this website understands. He is a highly experienced figure, who was Kimi Raikkonen’s race engineer in the past.

But in Barcelona, it could also be that Bryan Bozzi, Charles Leclerc’s right-hand man, will work as a race engineer for both drivers. There would be only one car on track, so it is possible.

There are rumors that Ferrari wants to bring in a former McLaren employee as Hamilton's eventual race engineer.

With the season fast approaching, Ferrari is searching for a successor to Adami, who was recently promoted out of the role. The duo had a difficult season during Hamilton's debut year at the team. Initially, it seemed they would work together for a second campaign, but Adami was reassigned to another position after all last week.
