Mercedes’ chief aerodynamicist Gioacchino Vino is set to exit the te🤡am.

Vino has been with Mercedes for ♛six years but his departure means a reshuffle for their aero departm🅺ent.

Separately, Loic Serra and Jerome d’Ambrosio will also leave Mercedes and go to Ferrari.

But, Mercedes hav꧋e recruited two important figures from Ferra𒅌ri.

Simone Resta and Enrico Sampꦗo will swap Maranello for Brackley.

Resta will become Mercedes'ꩲ Strategic Development Director, and Sampo will be their Head of Performance Software Applications.

Mercedes and Ferrar𒉰i have come to an arrangement where the employees can join their new employers from October 1, 2024, rather than wait for next season, report.

Important💙ly, Lewis Hamilton will swap Merce𝄹des for Ferrari in 2025.

Mercedes technical director James Allison discussed the exchange of stafꦜf at this weekend’s F1 Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix.

“But w🐓e also are gathering experien🥂ced and good people at a similar rate.

“I guess it’s o🌟ur job to try and make sure we act in such a way as everybody would rather be with us than ♔anywhere else.”
