Davide Brivio is therefore leaving Suzuki where he worked as director of a team that he saw the birth of and which he even partly created. He leaves this structure based in Italy in Brianza to join an adventure in Formula 1. Suzuki, crowned with a world title with its driver Joan Mir in 2020, must find the rare bird who will succeed him in record time. Here is a non-exhaustive list of potential candidates…
Suzuki will also arise the question of whether it will be necessary to replace Davide Brivio through internal promotion, or even distribute their prerogatives among the remaining executives in the team. But this path, given the responsibilities exercised by Brivio, also assisted by his brother Roberto, does not seem tenable. Because Guidotti, team manager at Pramac points out that he “ will probably take several people to replace it ».
But then who? The link with Italy will be taken into account. An element very quickly understood by Livio Suppo, Racing Consultant who applied spontaneously, thus revealing the desire to return to the paddock MotoGP. But who says Italy, also says Ducati...
Ciabatti or Tardozzi stolen from Ducati to replace Brivio?
The names of Paolo ciabatti and Davide Tardozzi were thus put forward by rumor. The first man even had to send out a message assuring that he was where he was and that he had not received any offer from Suzuki. The second, on the other hand, remains silent.
Paul Grandson is also considered in speculation and if he is not Italian, he is of course very close to Valentino Rossi by being his right-hand man in the VR46 project. But if being transalpine, or assimilated, is ultimately not taken into account by Suzuki, then horizons would open up for Wilco Zeelenberg who would find themselves with more responsibilities than at Petronas Yamaha, and even Kevin schwantz which carries the mark of the manufacturer's history with it...
To be continued, and all the more so since this bridge erected with Formula 1 since Massimo rivola passed from Ferrari to Aprilia, could very well spark other vocations.
