Ferrari has strengthened its technical team with two intriguing key appointments in Hirohide Hamashima and Steve Clark.
Hamashima was at Bridgestone for some 34 years, and latterly headed the F1 programme. He will give the Italian team a valuable insight into tyre development.
Meanwhile Clark will he head of race engineering, overseeing Andrea Stella and Rob Smedley.
Clark’s busy CV includes stints at Lotus, Ligier, Arrows, Sauber and in Champcar with Ganassi and Pac West. He was at McLaren from 2002-7, working with Ferrari technical director Pat Fry. He then joined Honda, remaining with the Brackley team into the Brawn and Mercedes eras.

Hamashima’s appointment is potentially a genius move. I’m sure other top teams will be loooking at similar appointments.
good choice for Hamashima.
