Ferrari to give Arrivabene another year

Arrivabene has had to face the brunt of a failed season for Ferrari, one where despite having the better package, Ferrari and Vettel have failed to secure a lead in the constructor’s and driver’s championship.

Ferrari’s team strategy and lack of coordination and planning during both qualifying and raceday has hurt the team big time and with Arrivabene heading the race operations, it is only natural that people have been calling for his head.

When the Juventus CEO position became vacant, it was reported that Arrivabene, who was almost certain to be sacked from Ferrari would be assuming the role of the new Juventus CEO.

Arrivabene however had brushed aside those rumours, saying that his only connection with Juventus was that he was on the board, and nothing else.

Binotto was set to replace Arrivabene at Ferrari.

According to fresh reports in La Gazzetta dello Sport, Ferrari have given Arrivabene another year at the helm of affairs at Ferrari.

The Ferrari management have been grieved by Ferrari’s showing this year but are ready to give Arrivabene another go, with the condition being that Arrivabene will have to deliver a world title in 2020.

Thus, if either Vettel is not world champion next year, Arrivabene would be sacked by Ferrari.

Moreover, Binotto is expected to take a break year and could return to Ferrari if Arrivabene is indeed sacked next year.

Do you think Vettel can be world champion next year?
