F1 Imola: Ferrari preparing SF-24 updates & first race for Charles Leclerc working with Bryan Bozzi

Alongside the aerodynamic update of the Ferrari SF-24, an important change will occur in the garage marked with number 16. Bryan Bozzi has been promoted to Charles Leclerc's race engineer. Bryan Bozzi, a graduate of the University of Bath in Claverton Down, UK, has been with Scuderia Ferrari for a long time. He is a young man of clear Italian origins embarking on a new adventure. Accompanying the Monegasque talent of Ferrari is no small challenge, as the two will be in close contact via radio during all Formula 1 sessions starting with the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix weekend.
Xavier Marcos Padros has made history. The Spanish engineer who has been with Charles Leclerc since 2019 has been reassigned to a different department, bringing his vast experience to other areas of the Italian team, according to Ferrari’s official statement on social media. Bryan Bozzi will take his place on the Ferrari pit wall from the seventh round of the 2024 Formula 1 season. Bozzi, dedicated to the development and performance of the car, was already in contact with Leclerc, meaning they have worked together extensively over the weekends and know each other well.
Bozzi is familiarizing himself with radio communication, which he has always monitored during sessions. It's now a matter of putting it into practice and learning the directives that involve alphanumeric strings to order various settings for the driver to use while driving. These settings include different commands for the internal combustion unit mappings, hybrid system, braking system, differential, tires, and more. Our team has been following Ferrari’s onboard races for about five seasons, so we understand how crucial the connection between the race engineer and the driver is.
In addition to the various types of commands mentioned, suggesting ways to improve performance is crucial. This includes handling techniques to maximize the car’s performance or simply advice on how to fully exploit the car’s features, particularly the updated Ferrari. Then there’s the strategic management aspect, where Bozzi will need to remain calm (like Carlos Sainz’s race engineer Riccardo Adami) to stay clear-headed and provide the driver with confidence.
Charles Leclerc, like his Formula 1 colleagues, can often experience contrasting emotions while driving, which can easily alter his state and affect his performance. Therefore, having the situation under control will be fundamental. It’s not up to us to judge Bryan Bozzi’s work, although given our many years of experience with Ferrari, we will undoubtedly form an opinion on his performance as the season progresses. His work will begin at the important Italian weekend at the Imola circuit, where Ferrari, with the evolution of the SF-24, will face high expectations from the fans. The major aerodynamic package introduced this weekend and the fact that it will be the first race in Italy this season, with tens of thousands of Tifosi expected to support the Maranello team, add to the pressure.
