Report: Binotto to replace Arrivabene as Ferrari boss

Formula One outfit Ferrari is set for a management reshuffle with team principal Maurizio Arrivabene to be replaced by technical director Mattia Binotto, according to reports in Italy.

Gazzetta Dello Sport reported yesterday that Arrivabene’s contract will not be renewed following another disappointing season, with management errors blamed for the team missing out once again to Mercedes. Ferrari president John Elkann has decided that Binotto, 49, is the right man to lead the Italian stable in 2019, Gazzetta reported. Arrivabene, 61, a former marketing chief with Philip Morris, replaced Marco Mattiacci in 2014, but during his four-year reign Ferrari failed to break Mercedes’ stranglehold on the F1 title. Swiss-born Binotto has been with Ferrari since 1995, starting off as a test engineer before being made technical director in 2016.
