Pat Fry is the most obvious change to Ferrari’s personnel structure for 2011, Luca di Montezemolo reveals.<\/p>\n
After starting work on McLaren’s 2011 car, Briton Fry switched to the famous Maranello based team mid-season to become deputy technical director.<\/p>\n
There has been speculation since the race strategy blunder in Abu Dhabi that Ferrari would be making other major changes ahead of the marque’s next championship campaign.<\/p>\n
But president Montezemolo told Germany’s Auto Motor und Sport: “We will not repeat the mistakes of the past.<\/p>\n
“There will be a few job changes and adjustments but nothing dramatic, just the normal process of good people from the second row moving forward.<\/p>\n
“With Pat Fry from McLaren, we have only brought in one man from the outside, and this happened long before Abu Dhabi,” added the Italian.<\/p>\n
Montezemolo said Ferrari’s goal for 2011 is to end the habit of the past two seasons of kicking off a new campaign without possessing the best car.<\/p>\n
“Even though we won the first race this year, we did not have the best car from the start, we won (in Bahrain) only because Red Bull had a problem.<\/p>\n
“We improved significantly this year compared to 2009, but – as was the case the previous year as well – Red Bull had the best car,” he admitted.<\/p>\n
“Next time we must have the best car from the first race.”<\/p>\n
