Ferrari has signed Bridgestone’s former technical chief Hirohide Hamashima, it emerged from the ‘Wrooom’ media event in the Italian Dolomites on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The news was announced by Stefano Domenicali, the famous team’s boss.<\/p>\n
Better known as ‘Hammy’, Japanese Hamashima, 52 will be in charge of the interaction between the new Ferrari car and its Pirelli tyres and other “tyre issues”, Domenicali said.<\/p>\n
Still without an official name, the 2012 single seater – codenamed 663 – will be revealed at the team’s headquarters on February 3, just before a Fiorano shakedown.<\/p>\n
Official testing begins the following week at Jerez.<\/p>\n
Domenicali on Wednesday also denied reports that Ferrari has already secretly inked a new Concorde Agreement with Bernie Ecclestone.<\/p>\n
