Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone believes that Ferrari team principal Maurizio Arrivabene should not be ousted, instead he should be supported by a right hand man to help with the running of the sport’s most famous team.

Ecclestone gave his opinion, on the situation at Maranello, to La Gazzetta dello Sport, “Ferrari has all the requirements needed to win the F1 world championship, from their drivers to the technical team.

“It was not easy for them, because Ferrari preferred to have an Italian team principal. I believe today this is what is missing.”
“I am not suggesting that someone replaces Arrivabene. They need someone who can support him in daily running of the team and operational aspects,” he added.
