Arrivabene encourages patience for Ferrari fans

Former Ferrari F1 chief Maurizio Arrivabene has asked Ferrari fans to be patient and to support the team through the difficult period that has seen Mercedes record five 1-2 finishes in succession.

Ferrari already seem to be out of contention for both titles, with the 96 point deficit to Mercedes already larger than that of the whole of the 2018 season.

 Arrivabene was at the Mille Miglia event and told Sky Italia: “The championship is still long and we need to have patience.”

“I have been voluntarily quiet on the matter but if I have to speak I can only say that we need to support the whole team. It’s easy to support the team when they are winning but I hope that all the fans support also in difficult moments.”
