Ferrari appointed Loic Serra, a former engineer from Mercedes, as the technical director of its Formula 1 team on Thursday.

The 52-year-old Frenchman will begin his role on October 1st, taking over for Enrico Cardile as the chassis technical director.

According to a press statement released on Thursday, Serra will report directly to team principal Fred Vasseur.

Enrico Gaultieri will continue in his position as Ferrari's technical director for the power unit.
