Bozzi, Leclerc’s new sidekick
With his calm but not aseptic approach, Bryan Bozzi he immediately gained approval from the fans and the team. Charles Leclerc’s new track engineer, who replaced Xavi Marcos starting from Imola, brought “luck” to the Monegasque, capable of winning his first home GP, but above all he stood out for his greater empathy compared to his predecessor , motivating the #16 in the race.
In the beginning, sure, all marriages seem to work great. Only time will tell if the Bozzi bet will be profitable. Meanwhile, the 34-year-old is enjoying the moment and explaining his emotions of assisting Leclerc on the race weekend.
Bozzi’s words
“I have been part of the Scuderia Ferrari track team for many years now. Representing this company and the whole of Italy in the highest motorsport category is a great source of pride for meeven more so having the opportunity to work alongside an exceptional driver like Charles“.
Bozzi, previously a Performance Engineer, analyzed the differences between his old job, that of track engineer and that of driver coach: “The Race Engineer he is responsible for managing the car entrusted to him during the event. This includes running each session’s programme, and setting up the car. The Race Engineer is also the one who speaks on the radio with the driver to give him all the information he needs during the sessions. The Performance Engineer he is instead responsible for optimizing various controls on the single-seater, such as the braking torque distribution and the differential. By definition he spends much of his time analyzing the balance of the car and working to ensure that it behaves as expected from the simulations. The work of Driver Coach it is instead focused on improving the driver’s performance. It analyzes videos and telemetries of all the cars on the grid and suggests the fastest lines and driving styles to those in the cockpit. These figures together with the other engineers, both on the track and in Maranello, try to optimize the car to extract the last thousandths of lap time which in this Formula 1 can make the difference“.
