Following news that director of engineering Pat Fry and chief designer Nikolas Tombazis are to leave Ferrari, just 24 hours later, the Italian outfit has confirmed the departure of another engineer.
Hirohide Hamashima, director of tyre development, will leave the team at the end of the year as part of new team principal Maurizio Arrivabene’s restructure.
The Japanese engineer previously worked for Bridgestone, but following their departure as F1’s sole tyre supplier, joined Ferrari in 2012.
“Ferrari announces that Hiroide Hamashima, currently responsible for tyre performance analysis, will leave the Scuderia at the end of the year,” a statement confirmed.
