Report: Jock Clear to join Ferrari
Jock Clear will leave Mercedes and join Ferrari in the new year, according to German reports.
Clear is currently Lewis Hamilton’s race engineer and has been given a lot of credit for helping Hamilton to the 2014 World Championship. He was also the engineer for Jacques Villeneuve in his title winning campaign in 1997.
Ferrari was also linked with Mercedes technical director Bob Bell, as they go through a dramatic change of personnel. They are trying to recapture their former glories after seven years without winning a championship.
Within eight months they have seen the likes of Stefano Domenicali, Luca di Montezemelo and Luca Marmorini leave the team. Since the end of the season, Domenicali’s replacement Marco Mattiacci has left the team and has been followed by Pat Fry, Andrea Stella and Nikolas Tombazis.
Clear is a well-respected member of the F1 paddock and many will see this as an impressive signing if Ferrari manage to steal him.
