If you were becoming the new Ferrari F1 team boss, would you try to replace mechanics (who also do pitstops) and strategists, or try to reschool them?
Are both viable options? (can you get new f1 mechanics and strategists? Are there companies who can train current staff? Who has that expertise?)
Getting new personell, probably the only way is to buy them away from other teams. That eats in your budget.
I wonder how expensive Hanna Schmitz would be nowadays. She can probably ask anything she wants when the Ferrari call comes 
Every extra point Ferrari can score is worth between $260.000 and $470.000 (divide the budget cap with either wdc or wcc points, depending on your goal), so that adds up pretty quickly. |
Sure .And actually It's like a complex clockwork system .
• The pitstop and race strategy
• The planning from the team strategists depending from the race situation
• The pitstop execution and choosing the right moment
• The tire strategy
• The right downforce setup and upgrades depending from the track
• The driver with a beginners mistake or just bad luck
• The reliability of the car and PU
And so much more , as I said It's like a complex clockwork system ..
If someone or something fails in the clockwork system , it will be very clear in the race.
And the whole team system can go down by the mistake from one single person .
One human mistake is enough to lose the race , which is usually seen in ridiculous situations .
Ferrari was/is the big loser in pitstops and race strategies .
Was it lack of training ?
Was it a lack of motivation ?
Is it the Italian nonchalance and negligence ? Lack of discipline ?
YES !!! Very likely !
But only one person is responsible for all these performances in this complex clockwork system !
The Ferrari team boss "Mattia Binotto"
So ,Mattia Binotto will be replaced , too bad ! But that wont change anything .
IMHO in one word : *Ferrari'd
