and an analysis of why the axe is falling with regularity at Ferrari
http://www.racer.com/f1/item/111838-...-keeps-falling
Not traditionally a team known for its patience, Ferrari has acted with a ruthless sweep of its human resources broom. News that engineering director Pat Fry and chief designer Nicolas Tombazis will leave the team is the latest development in a wide-reaching restructure that has encompassed change at the very top of the company.
During this year alone, Ferrari has changed president, team principal (twice), and reshuffled its engine department. A disappointing season on track led to unresolvable tension with star driver Fernando Alonso (since departed for McLaren), and now further heads have rolled in the design office and the engineering department.
Just before taking over from Luca di Montezemolo in the autumn, Sergio Marchionne – the CEO of parent company Fiat – described the Scuderia's 2014 performance as "unacceptable" and it seems Fry and Tombazis are the latest to pay the price for that.
