Ferrari could lose a second engineer after F1 rivals ‘send offer’ as unrest grows | F1 | Sport

Ferrari chief Fred Vasseur, who replaced Binotto, is already said to be ‘fed up’ with matters, citing a lack of influence on his new team. And another dismal display in Saudi Arabia this weekend will only serve to exacerbate the current ill-feeling.

Should Mekies move to Alpine, it would prove a boost to a team who had a troubled Bahrain Grand Prix of their own. Esteban Ocon faced three time penalties in the race before retiring while Pierre Gasly started last, following a mistake in qualifying, before racing up the order to finish ninth.

But despite the potential the team still doesn’t truly know the true pace of their cars and they’ll be hoping for an incident-free race next time out in Saudi Arabia.
