Jean Todt leaving team boss post at Ferrari
Quote selected text Published October 24th, 2006 in Main
Ross Brawn’s retirement or ’sabbatical’ will be confirmed by Ferrari this week, according to widespread media reports.
London broadsheet ‘The Times’ quoted race and test technical manager Nigel Stepney as saying the team reshuffle ‘is not going to be easy’ for the Maranello based squad.
“I don’t know at the moment what’s happening to Ross,” he insisted, “but taking two or three members out of the team and with people moving up into their places - it’s difficult to say.”
Stepney’s comments give rise to speculation that the Briton might be near the front of the queue to fill posts.
Luca Baldisseri is tipped to take over from Brawn as technical director, the Italian ‘Ansa’ news agency said.
Ansa added : “Team principal Jean Todt in all likelihood will leave the paddock and focus more on running the company.”
Stefano Domenicali may take over from the Frenchman at the helm, with Mario Almondo promoted to fill his post as sporting director.
Engine chief Paulo Martinelli may also leave the team, to be replaced by Mattia Binotto, additional reports in Italy insist.
