Ferrari Must Change Approach to F1 If They Want to Sign Red Bull’s Adrian Newey

Days after Adrian Newey confirmed he will not be joining Ferrari in the "foreseeable future," the Italian squad's current technical director, James Allison, took a public swipe at the way the team has been run in recent years.

Ferrari have been in the doldrums since 2009. Not once since then have they built a car truly capable of challenging for the championship on raw pace, and only the brilliance of Fernando Alonso has seen them come close.

Now Allison, who joined from Lotus last year, believes he has identified the main problem—too much pressure and too many targets are stifling the creativity of the team's employees. Per BBC Sport, he said:

There is a wealth of talent at Ferrari, the experience and quality of the people on the technical side is a match for any team. It is a question of giving them the encouragement to actually go off and do more unusual things and then have the time to look at them and know that if they fail it's OK because there's still time to put a back-up plan in place and for that to work.

Creativity and originality will only come if you set out to allow the engineers in your organisation the space and the time to do that.

If you force them to operate with their back against the wall, up against deadlines that are very tight, then there is no time for them to think about how they might approach something differently.

His comments show a dissatisfaction with the way the team is currently run, and they are all the more interesting because he put them out into the public domain.

And he's right—Ferrari need to change.



The traditional Formula One management structure has been around for decades, and sees a single team principal in overall charge. Sauber, Red Bull, Marussia and Lotus are among the teams set up this way. At Williams, founder Sir Frank Williams shares the duty with his daughter, Claire.

But some tea...
