Fry poised to join Ferrari?

Former McLaren chief engineer Pat Fry is set to team up with Ferrari, according to reports in the Italian media.

The 46-year-old was in charge of the 2011 car project at McLaren before he ended his 18-year association with the team in May.

Gazzetta dello Sport claims that Fry has now decided to sign for Ferrari - although the newspaper does not elaborate on details of what his new role will be, or when he will assume the position.

"Whenever somebody of Pat's calibre leaves the team it is sad," Jonathan Neale, McLaren's managing director, said last month. "It doesn't give me any concern for the performance of the team or what we do for next year's car at all because we are still a team that has strength in depth and we are committed to maintaining that."
