Scuderia Ferrari has confirmed that its former team principal, Maurizio Arrivabene, is leaving the team. Italian media broke the news this morning before the team released a short statement, marking Binotto as his replacement.
This forum contains threads to discuss teams themselves. Anything not technical about the cars, including restructuring, performances etc belongs here.
2020
Team Principal : Stefano Domenichali
Driver n1: Fernando Alonso
Driver n2: Kimi Raikonnen
This change is for 2020 win or another 2nd or 3rd place championship position.... there is no point looking back...set a realistic target and hire right promising people and develop talent ... there is no short cut
Ferrari need to get Wheatley & Monaghan. These guys are from RBR and it wouldn't be a bad idea to make Wheatley team boss. He's never becoming that while Horner is at RBR and I think he's a fantastic director/manager. Easily good enough to run a F1 team on his own. Paul Monaghan can run race operations while Binotto can design as he does best. I think these 2 signings will improve a lot of Ferrari's issues.

I think some of you might oppose what I'm about to say heavily and I really don't know if my rationale is reasonable but just hear this out.
I think Ferrari, and all the teams, should be employing native english speakers as their head of strategy and their race engineers. This might come off stupid and irrelevant at first but I've been thinking about it for a while and I cannot decide if it's really a thing or not.
Almost all F1 teams now are multinational companies that employs people from all around the world and almost all the time afaik english is, the universal medium of communication between team personnel, be it Mercedes or Ferrari, which is like a hypernationalistic company serving for their land and gives utmost importance to Italian. So in a medium like that being a native english speaker with good communication skills I think is a huge, very huge advantage because it seems to me being the head of strategy in a team does not simply require assessing the situation well, being aware of your team and rivals, optimizing the strategies, taking reasonable risks at the right moments but I think it also asks for good management of personnel around you and that takes good communication to begin with.
Now with that being said, I don't mean in any way that a non native english speaker guy cannot be succesful at his job as the head of strategy but I mean that it would be harder for him to execute his job than a native english speaker.

I don't think that's a criteria for the team. Don't know if you're trying to be funny or actually meaning something with that post?

Bino is confident his car will perform well at the Bonneville GP.
I guess you mean Le Castellet? I've read that there are changes coming for the French GP, as well. It was 4 days ago.
Is there any new source you could share, please?

...no. Sorry, still frustrated. I was making a sarcastic remark referring to the straightline speed test in America...Bonneville Salt Flats. It seems that facility's lack of turns would suit the no-downforce Ferrari.
Ferrari does not Alonso. What Ferrari needs is to look back at the 1996-2000 years...Back then Schumacher joined the team and brought with him valuable partners like Brawn Byrne etc.Since 1996 every year Ferrari was building a better and better car year by year and then in 2000 they made it...to win the first WDC since 1979. Already in 1999 won the WCC...
They need to outgrow Mercedes...History had to repeat itself in a way and Vettel bring a few bright minds from Redbull to Ferrari. but...
