Ferrari is planning to build a new F1 factory at its Maranello headquarters, the German newspaper Bild is reporting.<\/p>\n
Correspondent Frank Schneider said it is a “major project”, designed to end Ferrari’s six-year drought since last winning the championship in 2007.<\/p>\n
Bild said the new factory will boast three storeys to accommodate Ferrari’s 700 staff who work exclusively for the formula one team.<\/p>\n
The development would be in addition to Ferrari’s totally renovated wind tunnel, and new driver simulator.<\/p>\n
Schneider said the new factory will be ready in a year.<\/p>\n
Bild also said Ferrari’s new facilities could convince Sebastian Vettel to move from Red Bull.<\/p>\n
But Dr Helmut Marko thinks the German will stay put.<\/p>\n
“Sebastian’s contract runs for quite a long time,” he is quoted by Speed Week.<\/p>\n
“And as long as we give him a competitive car, he has no reason to change teams.\u00a0 Sebastian wants to win, not just be in a team because it is famous,” Marko insisted.<\/p>\n
