Next, we were all introduced to the data and telemetry expert Mr Andrea Stella. In his own words, he looks after the vehicle. “In particular my tool is the telemetry data. I do the analysis of the data coming from the car.” Stella concluded.
Moreover, jokingly Michael described Stella’s squared eyes as he is on the computer the whole time. He currently works as an executive racing director at McLaren.

“So, now we have the third important guy. It’s the piece between the rear wing and the driver is the engine, and it’s Mr. Binotto. I like to introduce him to you.
“He is the engineer and now sort of the head of the group of the engine, Mr. Binotto, and maybe you explain a bit on what you do in the car at the race weekend,” said Michael while introducing Mattia.
Explaining his role in the functioning of the team, Binotto said, “During the race weekend, I was working on the reliability and ensuring that the engine worked properly on Michael’s car.”
“In order to get absolute reliability and the best performance from the engine it is important that we talk to Michael to get his feedback in order to achieve this.”
“Exactly, thank you. See you at the meeting,” concluded Schumacher.
