Dutch engineer Jasper van Schaick has joined Ferrari in Maranello as a Chassis Vehicle System Specialist, reuniting him professionally with Lewis Hamilton. Van Schaick had worked on Hamilton’s Mercedes power unit from 2018.
Van Schaick began his F1 career in 2018 at Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains in Brixworth. He worked on the power unit’s mechanical design through September 2024 before moving into a Concept Engineer role. Until he left Mercedes in May 2026, he designed new concepts for its F1 power unit.
On LinkedIn, Van Schaick said he had made arrangements to return to the Netherlands after 11 years in the UK, but his plans changed at the last moment. He said he would have missed developing F1-car components and working towards race and championship victories if he had returned. He also said he was happy and grateful to have joined Ferrari and wanted to do his utmost to help the team fight for the world championship.
