FIA brain drain going on

After this 2018 testing, Renault who had signed FIA Technical Chief Marcin Budkowski, have shown marked improvement with a potential of securing fourth place this season. While this ruffled the feathers of the other teams at the end of last season. Ferrari has decided to do the same by signing the FIA Safety Director Laurent Mekies. You can be sure this would not go unnoticed. It is looking like a field day of FIA staff hiring is about to unfold. As these guy who nose into every car in the paddock have valuable insights into every team on the grid. Frenchman Laurent Mekies was an Engineer at Torro Rosso hence have comparable knowledge of all cars racing in F1 as Macin Budkowski.

A potential brain drain is about to begin as all the other teams are likely to also signup their own FIA man to neutralize the advantages gained by Renault and Ferrari, the two oldest teams in the paddock. But are there enough FIA men to go round.
