Ferrari is going through a very complicated sporting phase due to the poor performance it is providing in Formula 1. The CEO of the Red team, Louis Camilleri, also spoke about this situation with an interview published in the last hours in the New York Times.
Camilleri underlined without hesitation the difficult moment that Ferrari is going through, but, for the first time, he wanted to focus on what, in his opinion, are the real problems of the team and also on the solutions that will be implemented immediately. First step to reboot: trust Mattia Binotto and the current team.
“Yes, we are in great difficulty, but I have full faith in Mattia Binotto and his team. The results are not coming, but for some things it takes time. Unfortunately in the past there has been too much pressure and a lot of people let go. There is. It was kind of a place with revolving doors. I’m ending that situation. “
“What Ferrari needs is stability and concentration. If we look at Red Bull’s winning period, Mercedes’ current one, in addition to their talent, one of the keys is stability, and frankly, Ferrari in this regard. It is lacking “.
“If we look at Ferrari’s past, in calibers like Jean Todt, Michael Schumacher and Ross Brawn, it took all of them six years to start winning and capitalize on the talent of an exceptional team. So I want to make sure that it’s stability, even though Ferrari is under incredible pressure, especially from the Italian media, who are sometimes brutal. They ask for layoffs, but that is not the solution. This, however, does not mean that we do not plan to add new resources to the team that we already have. “
Goodbye Vettel, a difficult choice
Camilleri also spoke of the – painful – election that led Ferrari to decide not to renew Sebastian Vettel’s contract and to embrace a new challenge by hiring Spanish Carlos Sainz Jr.
“It was not an easy choice, but we thought about it a lot. Sebastian added a lot of value to Ferrari, but lately we have decided to think long term, about our future. We thought that joining Sainz and Leclerc was the best option for the future.” of Ferrari “.
We think of other categories
With the budget cap set to take effect in a few months, Louis Camilleri confirmed Ferrari’s intention to look at other categories as well. IndyCar and WEC above all.
“We are studying IndyCar. It depends on the flexibility of the first regulation. We understand that they have tried to contain costs for the next seasons.”
What the Prancing Horse doesn’t really care about is Formula E: “It’s not very relevant to us. Too many things in Formula E are standard. We’d like to get into categories where we can excel. In Formula E it’s hard to understand where you can do it. difference. “
