Louis Camilleri, CEO of Ferrari and chairman of Philip Morris International, has underlined his faith in the team and its boss Mattia Binotto, despite the tricky times the outfit faced. Despite Charles Leclerc’s second place finish in Austria, it is pretty clear that the Italian side does not have the means to currently challenge Mercedes and Red Bull for the 2020 Formula 1 title:
“We know there’s lots of work to do,” he said. “This is certainly not the grid position that a team like Ferrari should have and we have to respond immediately. It’s clear that we have to improve on all fronts. The only solution is to react and I’m pleased by the immediate reaction and the work that Mattia and all his team are putting in at every level. This is not just to bring to the track today what was scheduled to be ready tomorrow, but also to speed up the programme of development for the coming races. This is the response of a united team which is rolling up its sleeves and facing the problems head on, without crying about it. We are at the start of a new cycle with a long term plan. Any setbacks will certainly not change our chosen course and I have every confidence in Mattia and the team in addressing our shortcomings.” – Louis Camilleri explained, as reported by the Italian media earlier today.
