Ferrari’s poor start to the 2011 season – where they have scored only one podium finish so far, and are 110 points off the pace in just five races – has claimed its first casualty. The Maranello team has announced that technical director Aldo Costa has left the position.
The 50-year old Italian, who was appointed technical director at the end of 2007, will “take on new responsibilities within the company” the Scuderia said.
It’s more than just one person though, it’s a reshuffle. Former McLaren chief engineer Pat Fry is now the director of the chassis side while production will be handed to Corrado Lanzone. Luca Marmorini stays on as the man in charge of engine and electronics. The trio will report directly to team principal Stefano Domenicali.
The team in red will need to quickly find some pace to be in contention. Red Bull has been dominant from the start, with McLaren the only other team looking capable to match them.

Ferrari is just a name. What makes a team great is the people in it.
You bosses out there better start appreciating good staff!! They are the best assets any company can have!
great team always need great people not just average dude without higher ambition to excel
that is ferrari.
The dream team is long gone: Jean Todt-Rory Byrne-Ross Brawn-Michael Schumacher
Today’s dream team is in Red Bull: Christian Horner-Adrian Newey-Sebastian Vettel
Well somebody has to take the rap
for their poor form. Big money is involved
and Ferrari’s reputation is at stake.
Doubt if they can come out with a more
competitive package in such a short time span
but desperate times requires desperate measures.
Good luck guys but in the mean time looks like RBR
may have just wrapped up the 2011 season if Vettel and Webber
continue their winning streak !!
Hey O’Donnell, guess who’s your next door neighbour in Lithuania?! You should be in good company. You can sit at your local and talk about good ol’ days…
Ferrari should fire team principal Stefano Domenicali instead.
And I take it there’s absolutely no way for Williams/Team Lotus/and other team with aspirations to employ him for the 2012 season?
This is an interesting development. In the western world, if someone is not performing. That person has to leave. Not like in Bolehland, someone who can perform has to leave while non-performers get to stay and promoted.
ferrari must change their 2011 car….too slow…
