James Allison to leave the Scuderia!

**LivingHitokiri** · 19th July 2016, 13:38

The axe, according to today's Gazzetta dello Sport, will fall on James Allison, the ex Ferrari, ex Lotus Technical Director who was in charge of Maranello's much touted comeback. Sergio Marchionne, incredibly, has asked to be informed of every technical and strategic decision of the team so he may intervene personally (what could possibly got wrong?).

mate, we NEVER had a chance this year....and he's gone for next year, well it's NOT gonna be a surprise if we're gonna struggle again in 2017...unless we somehow lure Newey to Ferrari, which we ALL know it's NOT gonna happen, not in this life time

I guess it was just a figure of speech, of course I always hope for the best even though things are not going our way right now.

Just you worry about your own posts.

I think we are cursed, we had a guy that could truly help us win and develop a car and he had the tragedy of losing his wife at the beginning fo the season, it was guaranteed to fail since his mind wasnt on this at all.
Im not even sure who is there left that is talented and proven for Ferrari. Is Brawn even remotely interested?

**fmatiasii** · 19th July 2016, 14:21

I really miss the good old glory days.

James Key from torro rosso....that car is pretty decent with the budget they have and also the 2015 engine that is NOT even allowed to be upgraded and developed

I have read that 2017 project is already problematic

as a matter of fact, I still watch most of the time the old videos i have of those glory days.

**Nova** · 19th July 2016, 14:48

Ferrari would not dump him...his children live in the UK, he has to do what is best for them.
I think he will be headed back to live with them mabey b4 end of season.
We shouldve seen this coming actually.

**Tony** · 19th July 2016, 15:19

Wait I don't understand, did he get fired or is he leaving on his own? After what just happened to his wife and his family, I think it would be in poor taste to fire him to be completely honest :(

**stefa** · 19th July 2016, 16:22

Wov this is a surprise

Really didn't saw this coming... What the hell...? I wonder what now...?
Is it me or Ferrari in couple of past years is shooting in their own foot?!?

**Hornet** · 19th July 2016, 16:48

lol. Marchionne can't possibly know how to design a car.
This doesn't make much sense

**Ed Harley** · 19th July 2016, 16:50

He has not left yet and until a possible confirmation comes from either Mr Allison or Ferrari everything in the media regarding this matter is just speculation.

This!!!
If Ferrari are to fire every other guy without giving time for the results to deliver, nobody would want to come to Ferrari.

**zamlatuljko** · 19th July 2016, 18:06

Well I think if this is true, it has something with his passed away wife and children in UK. If I remember his children are from 8 to 12-13 years, so basicly not old enough to leave with one parrent who is bassiclly 2000km away in Italy.

We all know james he loves ferrari, been before in the past.

So nothing with poor Ferrari just simple family issues.

Remeber how he was happy last year after win in Malaysia. This man is very good and very proud memeber of Ferrari.

Honestly much more worse is Jock Clear, strtegy guy who ruined our tactis this year, last year Ferrari was excelent in those conditions...so Marchione....

**wacc** · 19th July 2016, 19:41

If true, bad news in my books. One of the signs that next season will be just mediocre. They do not promote some Italian from inside the team to his position, do they... Aldo Costa return?
One of James' main goals was to change Ferrari's short term focus to more long term thinking. Maybe it did not materialize.

**PURE PASSION** · 19th July 2016, 20:18

I think its more about JA's own family issues ,then the bad results at Ferrari.And Brawn IF he has something to do in the team,it will be just consulting . We are more aiming for James Key and there are 2 problems in that. 1st he has a contract with RBR (but this we can find a solution) and 2nd(and most importantly)is rhe gardening leave.
If we go for JK (and JA leave) then probably we woll just promote Simone Resta.

Only solution is to promote italians inside the team, and it's a good solution not in short time but for after because we can't be all the time depend on british members good will.

**Ed Harley** · 19th July 2016, 21:10

Promoting from inside is a possibility as long as there are ones that have the talent needed. But the minute when nationality becomes more important than ability then the dry season that follows will be a long one.

I imagine that to be true with any company..

**Nova** · 20th July 2016, 00:36

Pages on Facebook are saying Allison is leaving and that SF is trying to get Brawn.
Scuderia Club Caprino Bergamaso.

wow so sorry I missed that he lost his wife poor guy

**doublesixes** · 20th July 2016, 02:14

I'm tempted to say that at this stage Ferrari will be better off by promoting from within the ranks than hiring outsiders. I'm pretty sure there's sufficient raw talent to bring the Scuderia to its winning days. Good luck, James!

now this is what i call one step forward and two steps backwards.
