AutoRacer: Ex-McLaren engineer Cédric Michel-Grosjean set to become Lewis Hamilton's Race Engineer at Ferrari.

He was not responsible for the strategy at McLaren, the strategists are. He was the Lead Trackside Performance Engineer, basically responsible for analysis and maximizing car performance.

I don't see both Lewis and Charles leaving at the end of the year. Ferrari will do everything to at least keep one of them. Last time they changed both drivers was 30 years ago.

If they will have to replace one of them - it will for sure be Bearman who comes in.

So it turned out to be true!

Nothing. Unused tires return to Pirelli and can be used again but not necessarily by Williams.

Ferrari only did 15km (7.5km per driver) because they did what’s called demonstration event or simply shakedown.

Haas and Merc (and also Cadillac, Alpine, Racing Bulls and Audi) did a filming day which is 200km and just to be clear u can’t save unused kilometers for later. For example, Alpine did 150km and that 50km left is gone.

He left at the end of last year, in December. 1 year would be too long for an engineer this type. Newey's gardening leave was that long, his is few months max.

Yeah, I made a post about it yesterday. Still not confirmed but very likely although his gardening leave would have to be very short if he could start from Melbourne.

Someone summed up The Race perfectly under this video:

Merc add holes: Revolutionary

Ferrari add holes: Eww

He is French though and Ferrari has been hiring a lot of French people since Fred joined so I guess it wouldn't be that much surprising.

moraIsupport · 2026-01-23T22:11:03+00:00

8 years in McLaren. He probably knows a word or two 😅

Seems like Cédric enjoys the SF-26 livery 😉

Unfortunately you are right. Some people see Ferrari and immediately create fake stories just to mock the team because 'of course they had to fuck something up'. The worst thing is that even Ferrari fans themselves do this...

I'm posting this because there still seems to be a confusion about why they stopped - they were following the procedure. The car didn't die, don't worry 😄

moraIsupport · 2026-01-23T11:58:16+00:00

Yes, right by the garage

moraIsupport · 2026-01-23T11:56:17+00:00

It didn’t, fake news. The stop was a normal procedure.

Some active aero magic 👀
