The heaven and hell of running Ferrari
Is there any job in Formula 1 more pressurised than that of Ferrari team principal? In this exclusive interview with Autosport's sister publication F1 Racing, Maurizio Arrivabene opens up about the joys - and unique anguish - of running the proudest race team of them all
His words come quietly, and with an echo of the burden that must be borne in this most storied role. "All Italians are the Ferrari team principal," says Maurizio Arrivabene, "just as they are all the national football coach. And they give you the feeling of the exact responsibility that you have - always."
A grudging smile, a knowing nod to the ever-fevered expectations of the tifosi - Ferrari's very own barmy army, of which he was once a passionate member.
