Chris Dyer has lost his role as head of race engineering at Scuderia Ferrari, in the wake of the team’s Abu Dhabi strategy disaster.
The Aussie’s job will now be an extra responsibility for deputy technical director Pat Fry, who joined from McLaren last year.
The Ferrari website says that Dyer’s “role within the company will be redefined in the next few days.” History suggests that he will be given a non-travelling factory job, something that may actually suit him as he has a young family.
Meanwhile former McLaren and Red Bull man Neil Martin has joined the team as head of a new Operations Research department. The 38-year-old Brit will report to technical director Aldo Costa.
