Ferrari Strengthens F1 Team With Key Chassis Signings

Ferrari has reinforced its Formula 1 technical department with new chassis engineers as the Scuderia prepares for the 2027 regulations.

Ferrari Adds Experience From Mercedes and Aston Martin

Two engineers have already joined Ferrari’s technical staff.

Luciano Nicomede has arrived from Mercedes, where he worked as a senior chassis composite designer for more than four years.

Meanwhile, Carlos Sánchez Martínez has left Aston Martin after eight seasons to become a chassis structural engineering specialist, focusing on stress analysis and structural calculations.

Both engineers will work under Fabio Montecchi, Ferrari’s Head of Chassis.

Focus Turns to the 2027 Formula 1 Car

The new appointments arrive as Ferrari continues developing its 2027 Formula 1 project.

According to the team, Montecchi has already defined several chassis concepts under the direction of Technical Director Loïc Serra.

Ferrari is expected to make additional hires in the coming months as part of a broader effort to expand its engineering group ahead of the new technical regulations.

More Engineers Could Still Arrive

Reports indicate Ferrari may add up to five new engineers during its current recruitment campaign.

Although the team has not officially announced every signing, several arrivals are expected after the Formula 1 summer break, once contractual gardening leave periods expire.

Strengthening the technical department has become a priority as Ferrari looks to improve consistency following an encouraging but inconsistent first half of the 2026 season.

Ferrari Aims to Return to Regular Race Wins

Despite victories earlier this season, Ferrari knows it still lacks the consistency needed to challenge for championships on a regular basis.

By expanding its technical staff and investing in its chassis department, the Scuderia hopes to accelerate development and build a stronger foundation for future Formula 1 campaigns.
