Farewell to Louis Camilleri It was lightning out of nowhere in Maranello, but several hours after the announcement made by the Ferrari the panorama begins to clear and the ideas of revolution fade more and more. With John Elkann as Acting CEO, the strategic line it’s not going to change, neither for road cars nor on track. And that will mean keeping Mattia Binotto at the head of the Sports Directorate.
It all stems from the close relationship of trust between Camilleri and Elkann. They both supported Binotto and in fact during this season he has not been questioned despite the results obtained on the track. The budgets for Formula 1 are already assigned, also considering those development sectors that have been left out of the calculation. The hope is that we already see the expected improvements in 2021, to have a decent season before the big regulatory changes of 2022. More budget could be spent on an adventure in le mans with hypercars, after putting aside the Indycar project: according to Gazzetta dello Sport, the decision must be made before the end of January.
Camilleri resigns, the toto-successor starts at Ferrari
According to what we read in Repubblica, “At the sporting level, this translates into work, patience and a goal already set: to lay the foundations for a winning cycle, as in the Ferrari of the Todt / Schumacher era. The goal is to return to competitiveness in 2022, when F1 regulations will change. But evolutions are also expected for next year, thanks to a new engine and modifications to the rear of the car. Maranello already aspires to regain lost positions in 2021. Camilleri gave Mattia Binotto full confidence. Reggio’s engineer, team manager since 2019 when he replaced Maurizio Arrivabene, he has the full support of top management, including Vice President Piero Ferrari, and replacing him would not even make sense. With Camilleri’s support, he decided to invest in the new simulator (the old one was about ten years old) that will be operational next spring. Last summer he reorganized the Gestione Sportiva into a vertical model, revolutionizing the horizontal concept desired by Marchionne“No revolution, therefore, at least until the appointment of the next CEO.
