And I think the stories I heard are probably true. And AG's stock has risen sharply since he's drive at the AUS GP.
Hears another little story I heard from Melbourne's pitlane. Ferrari F1 Team is aiming to be an all Italian team. All Italian. Every employee. From the cleaner to the CEO. Including the drivers. "100% Made in Italy" is what Arrivabene wants to promote to the world. So having AG in the Sauber seat for a few more races will hopefully give the Italian driver the experience required for the Ferrari seat in 2018.
If this is so, what of SV in the next couple of years? They cannot be an all Italian team with a German driver surely?? Goodbye SV in 2019? And all the other non-Italian employees currently at working at Ferrari?
