Domenicali: Resigning would have been a mistake

Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali talks about the defeat in Abu Dhabi and reveals that he thought about resigning after the disastrous debacle that gave the title to Red Bull. Domenicali's resignation is a much debated topic and our readers have often demonstrated that they have excellent arguments, both for and against this hypothesis.
During an interview for the newspaper “Repubblica” Domenicali revealed: “The defeat in Abu Dhabi took away my sleep for two days, I asked myself if it was right for me to stay, it was a necessary reflection to make. I'm not a person attached to the chair but I came to the conclusion that resigning would be a mistake. I know the team and I believe I am the right person to capitalize on the potential we have. People have the perception that I am the coach of Ferrari, but in reality the role of team principal is different: I have to manage every aspect of the team, not just the sporting one. Mine is a delicate position but I have always felt the trust of the president and the company and I work every day to repay it. In Maranello in recent years we have changed almost everything, there has been a lot of work to do but we will soon see the results. The real challenge in this Formula One is to train people and groups, only Newey is left of the one man show, all the other teams are made up of excellent number twos coordinated to perfection. Only in this way can we win and maybe even manage to open a cycle."
