Arrivabene calls on Italy to support struggling Ferrari
Former Ferrari boss Maurizio Arrivabene has called on the Tifosi to support the Italian team.
In the season after Arrivabene was ousted and replaced by Mattia Binotto, Mercedes has completed five consecutive 1-2 victories so far in 2019.
"The championship is still long and it takes patience," the Italian told Sky Italia at the Mille Miglia endurance race, where he is a board member.
"I have been voluntarily quiet, but if I have to talk I can only say that we need to support the whole team," Arrivabene added.
"It's easy to support the team when they win, but I hope that all the fans support also in difficult moments."
Arrivabene indicated that he has no hard feelings after his ousting.
"Ferrari is a family that gave me so much, and I committed as much of myself to it as I could. And I will always be a part of it," he insisted.

Bravo, Maurizio, grande anima!
I agree with Arrivabene's comment as he certainly knows inner workings of Ferrari team as surely he was on the receiving end of fury of the Italians when things were not going well for Ferrari and it does not look good for them now so they must find a way to appease the fans and the press. I think that Ferrari team need to keep their further developments a secret so their competitors will be kept in the dark and their critics will be less loud.
Italian press behaves to Vettel and Ferrari like Natalio Curro did in Blood and Sand:
Natalio Curro : [to members of the bullfighting crowd] You're lucky to be here this afternoon. You'll see history made. From now on the history of the bull ring will be figured as B.G. and A. G. - Before Gallardo and After Gallardo! I, Curro, say it!....
Natalio Curro : [to a tableful of sycophants at an outdoor restaurant] I understand Gallardo has one more contract to fulfill - the corrida next Sunday afternoon. I predict he will make his exit in a cloud of rotten oranges and dead cats. I hold him directly responsible for the death of Nacional, and I should say so in my article tomorrow. The trouble with Gallardo is he has cats in his belly. His father was the same way. Like father, like son.
When I first time see Binotto and the news that he is replacing Arrivabene, I was laughing, and I was right.
Try being a mclaren fan.
think about how we feel. if youre a fan, you'll stick by them always
Me too Eduardo but at least they are finally going in the right direction.
