Not the head of the Ferrari team had a second substitution in one season. Marco Mattiacci, who replaced Stefano Domenicali exactly eight months ago, will replace Maurizio Arrivabene, who otherwise comes from the Philip Morris concern, which is linked to Ferrari through the Marlboro tobacco brand, the team's former main sponsor.
“We opted for Maurizio Arrivabene as the team is at a historic turning point for Ferrari and Formula One. We need a person who knows not only Ferrari in detail, but also the steering mechanisms and the needs of the sport, ”commented Ferrari President Sergio Marchionne.
“Maurizio has a unique range of knowledge. He was closely associated with Ferrari for several years. His managerial experience at a high and complex level, as well as a tightly controlled market, will be very important, and at the same time help him lead and motivate the team, ”said Marchionne, who also thanked Marco Mattiacci for 15 years of service.
Arrivabene thus became the managing director of the sports department (Gestione Sportiva) and the head of the Ferrari team.
