Research notes
Fabio Montecchi is an Italian engineer who studied Mechanical Engineering at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, and joined Ferrari's design department as a simulation engineer in 2003, remaining with Ferrari ever since. He was promoted to Head of the Simulation Department in 2007 (during which the team won several constructors' and drivers' championships), became Deputy Chief Designer in 2012 (working alongside Simone Resta on cars including the F14 T), Car Project Manager in 2019, and in the February 2021 technical restructuring was promoted to Chief Project Engineer (Head of Chassis Project Engineering). Like Gualtieri, his path is one of single-employer, internal step-by-step promotion.
