Ferrari named former Mercedes engineer Loic Serra as a technical director for its Formula 1 team on Thursday.

The 52-year-old Frenchman starts on Oct. 1 and replaces the departed Enrico Cardile as chassis technical director.

Serra will report directly to team principal Fred Vasseur, Ferrari said in a press statement on Thursday.

Enrico Gaultieri remains in his role as Ferrari's technical director on the power unit side.

Cardile departed in July to accept a senior technical position at Aston Martin.

Serra had worked at Mercedes for more than a decade. He will be reunited with driver Lewis Hamilton when the seven-time world champion joins Ferrari for the 2025 season.
