Fitness Training for Ferrari Crew
7.12.00

Ferrari has planned a fitness programme for its race crew.

The Maranello team, which won both the drivers’ and constructors’ championships last season, is keen to have its mechanics, engineers, and associated staff in tiptop shape by the start of next year.

Though not based on World Champion Michael Schumacher’s intensive regime, the programme will include fast walking, which strengthens bones and promotes good health, and possibly even Yoga – a highly effective exercise that helps relax the body. Team members will also be expected to follow a structured diet.

Ferrari believes the programme will help the team cope better with the long season.

‘We are convinced that to have a positive season, you don't only need a good car and excellent drivers, but it's also necessary for every team member to have a suitable preparation from a psychological and physical point of view,’ said Team Manager Stefano Domenicali.
