Ferrari F1 chief Maurizio Arrivabene's future with the iconic Italian team may soon be over as he has appeared on a list of candidates to join Juventus as general director.
Holding company Exor, controlled by the Agnelli company whose principle investments include PartneRe, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, CNH Industrial, The Economist, Juventus and Ferrari has released a list of nine names being considered to replace former dismissed Bianconeri general director Beppe Marotta.
This is the list presented by Exor:
- Paolo Garimberti (Independent administrator)
- Pavel Nedved
- Daniela Marilungo (Independent administrator)
- Andrea Agnelli
- Enrico Vellano
- Francesco Roncaglio
- Assia Grazioli-Venier (Independent administrator)
- Caitlin Hughes (Independent administrator)
- Maurizio Arrivabene
The general director post at Juventus is a full-time one and would require Arrivabene - who is listed as a director with the Italian football giants - to relinquish his post as team principal of Ferrari, which would leave open one of the hottest seats in sport.
From within the current team, Mattia Binotto would appear to be the next in line to step up to the role of team principal should Arrivabene leave, but the Scuderia could also shop a boss from outside the team.
Ferrari are amid a losing campaign this season, having started strongly they and their star driver Sebastian Vettel fumbled and stumbled as Mercedes and their contender Lewis Hamilton capitalised and grew stronger.
With five races remaining in the championship Vettel trails Hamilton by 50 points in the drivers' championship, while Ferrari are 53 points adrift of Mercedes in the constructors' standings.
