Ferrari has announced Enrico Cardile has handed in his resignation and will depart his role as the team’s Formula 1 Chassis Technical Director with immediate effect.
Since moving over to the side’s F1 operation from the Gran Turismo scheme in 2015, Cardile had graduated to Ferrari’s Chassis and Aerodynamics Technical Director.
The Italian helped Ferrari rebound from a difficult campaign last term to emerge as a race-winning contender earlier this season with an overhauled SF-24 challenger.
But speculation had emerged that Lawrence Stroll was courting Cardile’s services as he endeavours to bolster Aston Martin’s technical division with headline recruits.
Ferrari has now revealed in a statement that Cardile will egress, with Team Principal Frederic Vasseur to begin overseeing the chassis department on an interim basis.
Cardile’s exit has come with the Maranello-based squad enduring a slump in competitiveness on track amid an update package producing unintended consequences.
Ferrari will welcome ex-Mercedes Performance Director Loic Serra in October as Head of Chassis Performance Engineering as Vasseur seeks to add technical names.
