Piero Ferrari details how Michael Schumacher changed Ferrari team culture

Ahead of the 2026 Italian Grand Prix, Ferrari vice chairman Piero Ferrari discussed the lasting influence of former driver Michael Schumacher. Schumacher, who joined the team in 1996, transformed team operations by analyzing his own telemetry data at home to identify performance improvements. This methodical approach shifted the team's development process from relying solely on driver feedback to a data-driven model. Piero Ferrari noted that while testing regulations have changed since Schumacher’s tenure, the habit of using data to improve remains a core part of the team's culture. To mark 30 years since his arrival, the Scuderia team is honoring the seven-time world champion with a special livery for this weekend's race in Monza.
