Bozzi's Work as Charles Leclerc's Engineer
Bozzi plans Charles Leclerc‘s practice running and set-up work, coordinates the engineers on car 16 and handles the technical side of the radio. He works within Matteo Togninalli‘s track engineering group.
In Ferrari’s June 2024 Canadian Grand Prix preview, Bozzi explained how his job differs from the performance engineer role he’d held for five years, which centers on the data, and from a driver coach, who works on technique. The race engineer is the one who turns all of that into a plan for the weekend.
