Ferrari has announced the signings of Loic Serra and Jerome d’Ambrosio from Mercedes to bolster its Formula 1 engineering and management teams.

Serra, formerly the performance director at Mercedes, will take on the head of chassis performance engineering role at Ferrari on 1 October and will report to technical chief Enrico Cardile.

As revealed by Autosport earlier this year, ex-F1 driver d’Ambrosio also leaves Mercedes to join Ferrari – where he is also set to start on 1 October - as deputy team principal to Fred Vasseur, thus exiting his role at Brackley as driver development director.

The two will reunite with Lewis Hamilton when the seven-time F1 champion joins Ferrari in 2025.
