Ferrari have announced a few changes to their engineering team over the Christmas break which will see the appointment of two Englishmen to senior positions within the outfit.
Ex-McLaren chief engineer Pat Fry, who joined the outfit last year, will takeover Chris Dyer’s role as head of race track engineering.
Dyer had been responsible for strategic decisions, leading to speculation that he has been relieved of such duty after an error in Abu Dhabi which possibly led to Fernando Alonso missing out on his third title.
The Italian outfit confirmed Dyer’s future position at the team would be confirmed in the next few days.
Meanwhile, Neil Martin, an ex-Red Bull and McLaren employee, will be joining the team for the 2011 season to head up the new operations research department. He will report directly to Aldo Costa, Ferrari’s technical director.
In a separate statement, the Scuderia confirmed that the 2011 chassis had undergone, and passed, critical crash tests.
