He should be safe there. The drivers there are whiter than white, so to speak.

Wonder how much they had to offer to get him away from McLaren?

How long is Domenicali likely to survive as head honcho whilst the team underperform?

Perhaps thats enough drawer from Ferrari as Pat Fry was never likely to get his hands on the top job at McLaren, was he...?

One wonders if McLaren would be all that fussed. Last year's car was his and it was a dog. This year's was overseen by Goss. Perhaps the comparison was a bit too obvious.

So maybe he jumped and then again maybe he was pushed.

If the rumour(s) are true then I think Pat Fry's McLaren's exit perhaps wasn't his own choice.

Aaah, that makes a tad more sense. Not as possibly thought in the rumour thread.

I don't know if he's any good, but he was in charge of the MP4-20 and MP4-22, both of which got very close to winning the championships.
