The tension exploded in the Ferrari house with a real revolution at the top. Via Maurizio Arrivabene, since 2015 managing director of Ferrari Gestione Sportiva and team principal of the Scuderia. Instead of him the one who until yesterday was the technical director: Matthias Binotto. This is revealed by the Sports Gazette, according to which the official announcement will arrive shortly.
A real turnaround that puts an end to months of controversy: too many mistakes made last season. A wasted opportunity given the enormous potential of the car. These would be precisely the reasons behind the non-renewal of Arrivabene's contract, which did not seem to be under discussion until September.
A new page therefore opens in view of the next championship formula 1: the 15 single-seater will be presented on 2019 February and will be driven by Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc, a promising Monegasque who grew up at the Ferrari Academy, who arrived in Maranello after a year in Alfa Romeo Sauber.
Binotto, Swiss, 50 years old, after graduating from the Polytechnic of Lausanne, joined the Scuderia Ferrari as an engine engineer in 1995. From there a long apprenticeship that led him to become chief of engineers working on the car in 2016. Today Binotto becomes the new head of Gestione Sportiva with only one goal: to bring the world championship back to Ferrari.
Even the Stock Exchange reacts to the news: at 15.50 pm the Ferrari title it earns 0,8% breaking through the psychological threshold of 90 euros per share and beating the Ftse Mib which travels at +0,4%.
But the news does not seem to have finished in the Agnelli team: in the next few hours a meeting is scheduled between the president of Juventus, Andrea Agnelli and Arrivabene, who was his head of office in Philip Morris and who could become the new CEO of the Juventus club after the divorce from Beppe Marotta
