Pode vir Bob!
It's expected that Ferrari will
confirm the appointment of Bob Bell as it looks to bolster its technical team
in the hope of returning to the front of the grid in 2015.
Bell, who currently works for
Mercedes on "non-F1 projects" after resigning as technical director
in December last year, would be a good fit for the Italian team as not only has
he worked with Fernando Alonso and James Allison in the past, but he is also
aware of the inner-workings at the Silver Arrows.
Journalist Adam Cooper suggests Bell
might sit directly under team principal Marco Mattiacci and work with Allison
on developing the '15 car.
However some believe Bell might even
take over from Mattiacci in the not too distant future. Mattiacci has only been
in the role of team principal since April, but many saw the move as an
initiation, to learn the ways of Ferrari before eventually taking over Luca di
Montezemolo's role as chairman of the company.
With Ferrari's parent company Fiat
taking over Chrysler using large amounts of debt to finance the deal, it has
been suggested Fiat boss Sergio Marchionne - who recently criticised Di
Montezemolo - is looking to float Ferrari in order to raise finance to repay
the debt, an idea Di Montezemolo is strongly against.
Mattiacci, now that he's been in
charge of both the American road car business and the F1 team for a few months,
now understands how Ferrari works on both the commercial and sporting sides and
is therefore better placed to take over as chairman. He also fits Marchionne's
long-term vision for the company.
