Maurizio Arrivabene has been named as the new Team Principal of Scuderia Ferrari replacing Marco Mattiaci who took charge of the F1 team for only seven months. Ferrari has also appointed Arrivabene as Managing Director of Gestione Sportiva, the motorsport program of the Italian automaker.
Ferrari Chairman Sergio Marchionne said that Arrivabene's knowledge and experience will be beneficial for the F1 team.
