Career

[edit]

Adami obtained a diploma in chassis area at the University of Brescia in 2001 and worked for Minardi since 2002.[1] He worked in several positions throughout the years before ultimately being promoted as the race engineer in 2005.[2]

Adami remained with the team after the team was acquired by the Austrian energy drink maker Red Bull and renamed as Scuderia Toro Rosso at the end of 2005.[3] During his years working in the Italian team, he race-engineered to several drivers, including Vitantonio Liuzzi, Sebastian Vettel, Sébastien Buemi and Daniel Ricciardo.[4]

In 2015, Adami left Toro Rosso and moved to Scuderia Ferrari, working as Vettel's race engineer once again.[5] Adami has been the race engineer for Carlos Sainz Jr. since 2021.[6]
