Ferraris to be designed by Indians
To be exact Ferrari is outsourcing the design of its Formula 1 engine to India's top software exporter Tata Consultancy Services. I guess there is hope for Schumi to lose next year.

I have a feeling that many parts of Formula One cars are outsourced. It will be impossible to tell from a spectator's perspective whether this will have an impact on the Ferrari's performance. Regardless this will hardly hurt the performance of the Ferrari, so if all else remains the same, Schumi will keep doing what he has been.

Well india has an abundant supply of talented IT professionals, so it really doesnt come as a surprise that anyone would go there for IT needs. I doubt this will have much effect on the car either way.

I used to work for TCS some years back 
Ferrari are screwed
Without reading all the articles, I think TCS will help Ferrari in the way HP is helping Williams - IT outsourcing, engineering design support, simulation, etc....

Thanks for the links Evo, it's interesting.. Do you really think that Ferrari, on the back of these consecutive World Championships would jeopardise this streak by employing some dodgy company?  unlikely..  I'm sure they've done their research and based their decision on what will get them the best result.

TCS is not a dodgy company ... it may have lousy HR inside but the company has a lot of smart brains ....
Doesnt explain why I left it .... does it ...

styla21 it could be a matter of cost that pushed Ferrari to outsource the dev of their Formula 1 engines.
sameerrao is your former employeers known for mechanical/automotive engineering?

The group company Tata has a car and truck making division - Tata Engineering. Another division - Tata Consulting Engineers does engineering design.
So i guess TCS can pull together knowledge from these sources. But F1 is lightyears away from normal car engineering 
But anyway, I think they would be more on software and hardware support - simulation, etc....

I can't beleive you call them "indians" ...... When americans discovered the natives, the only reason they were labelled indians is because they had dark skin and looked like they were from india. Now, imo, ferrari needs to stay grounded, however if the technology proves to be supreme then it may be for the better.
