Stefano Domenicali, F1 and beyond.

In recent times, there has been a lot of talk that Stefano Domenicali, known to most people as the ex-Ferrari boss, is going to replace the now F1 boss Chase Cary. And on the 25th of September 2020, there was a news article confirming these rumours. This made me curious to know more about Stefano Domenicali.

Stefano is an Italian. He was born in Imola. After graduating from the University of Bologna in 1991, he joined the finance department of Ferrari. Similar to the other recent team Ferrari principals, Maurizio Arrivabene and Mattia Binnoto, he too had to work his way up the hierarchy at Ferrari.

After working in Ferrari for 17 long years, on the 12th of November 2007, Stefano was announced to be the Director of the prestigious motor racing team, Scuderia Ferrari, replacing Jean Toldt, the current president of the FIA. It was under Domenicali's leadership that Ferrari won their last constructors championship in 2008. After a couple of 'bleak' years, he resigned from his position in The April of 2014. That was 23 years since he first started at Ferrari.

In 2014, Stefano was appointed the head of the FIA's Single Seater Commission. He is still the president of that commission.

Moving on from F1, in November of 2014, Stefano was appointed as the Vice President of New Business Initiatives at Audi AG.

In 2016, he was announced as the CEO of Lamborghini. He led the sports car company through a very successful period.

One can easily recognize the sound of a Lamborghini engine due to the amazing roar of the engine! We all know Lamborgini for their booming V12 engine and their V10 engines. Stefano Domenicali steered Lamborghini's engine department towards hybrid powertrains.

Apart from the engines, Stefano helped the brand in many other ways such as:

1.Stefano helped double global sales and also helped Lamborghini gain awareness on a global scale.
2.He helped Lamborghini introduce their new and spectacular SUV sports utility car, 'The Lamborghini Urus.'


In my opinion, Stefano is one of the best man Formula One could have chosen to lead them. This is because:

1.Stefano has had the experience of working in and leading a Formula 1 team.

2.Also,his business perspective and experience at Audi and Lamborghini will help him take the wheel and improve F1 with the expertise that he brings.

"Bono, my tyres are gone!!"

Image
No race goes by where Lewis Hamilton does not complain about his Pirellis to his race engineer, Bono, saying " I can't look after these tyres! They're dead!” or " My tyres are gone, Bono". Lewis Hamilton has also publicly called out Pirelli various times, asking them to make better tyres. Recently, the biggest tyre-related controversy occurred at the 2020 British GP, where the tyres of both the Mercedes drivers, Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas and the tyres of Mclaren driver, Carlos Sainz, all exploded. While Lewis Hamilton managed to drag his 3 legged horse(car) to victory, both his teammate, Valtteri Bottas, and Mclaren driver, Carlos Sainz, both dropped way down the order and eventually out of the points. This incident made me want to learn more about F1's sole tyre supplier, Pirelli. Tyres are the only point of contact between the ground and the F1 car. Thus we can say that the performance of an F1 car is highly dependent on the tyres used. ...

George Russell to Mercedes? Here's a little insight into his career.

Recently there's been a lot of speculation that: 1.George Russell is going to replace Valtteri Bottas in 2022. 2. And also that Mercedes would announce their full British lineup of Lewis Hamilton and George Russell at the 2021 British Grand Prix. Here is what a couple of F1 greats has to say about it:- Red Bull advisor, Dr Helmut Marko As motersport.com quoted: "You can't hold it off any longer. Otherwise, the funding will no longer make sense. Even if Hamilton won't be happy." As for Bottas Future, he went on to say that, "Bottas doesn't have to call us there is no space. I can only imagine a swap with Russell. I think Williams will be the only option for him. Six-time F1 GP winner, Ralf schumacher had this to say: As news24.com quoted, "For that, he would have to drive extremely badly, and he doesn't. We've seen it with Ricciardo at McLaren and Perez at Red B...
