New changes are happening inside the red team . Domenicali , Ferrari's F1 team principle told the media that Chris Dyer , Kimi's australlian race engineer will be replaced by Andrea Stella starting form the coming season. While Dyer will remain in duty for Ferrari as track engineer.
Chris Dyer was race engineer for Raikkonen during the last couple of years,and also race engineered for Schumacher towards the end of his Formula1 carreer.
Stella was working with Raikkonen before as performance engineer , many can recognize him from seeing work with Kimi in the paddock pictures.
Why would Ferrari do that ? Why would they send away Dyer who is experienced and older than Stella ?
I guess the new policy that Ferrari put in place for the last couple of years , is to bring the younger blood to action for the team . This started with Stefano Domenicali taking Todt's place . I guess this policy will bring great interest in the future , although in the middle of the transition period a few mistakes might happen , but for the long run great results will be achieved . We should also bare into our minds that Ferrari didn't leave the youngsters by themselves , but the experience of John Todt and Michael Schumacher is always there to hold up the team. And this was pretty clear when we saw them several times in the paddock with the Ferrari team.
We hope for a promising season with these changes , and i am sure it will be.
