Marchionne assures Arrivabene of his support

Earlier this week, Sergio Marchionne, president of Ferrari, had harangued his troops while waiting for success for the Scuderia at the finish of the Spanish Grand Prix. Hope disappointed for the boss of the Italian brand, Max Verstappen (Red Bull Racing) coming ahead Kimi Räikkönen and Sebastian Vettel in Catalonia, to become the youngest winner in F1 history.

On the sidelines of the Barcelona event, Sergio Marchionne also wanted to deny the rumors coming from the other side of the Alps, reporting a possible replacement of Maurizio Arrivabene at the head of the prancing horse team.

“Maurizio’s position is secure beyond question, comments the Italian, quoted by Reuters. The rumors are complete nonsense. And that bothers me because all of this is baseless and it creates confusion in an extremely competitive environment. We don't need this. The team is unrecognizable compared to that of two years ago. »

Ferrari is still looking for its first victory in 2016, after winning three times last year thanks to Sebastian Vettel.
