Stefano Domenicali is just Ferrari’s latest “scapegoat”, according to another former Ferrari team boss.<\/p>\n
Cesare Fiorio, who led the Maranello team before the ultra-successful Jean Todt era, likened Domenicali’s departure to that of Aldo Costa, who left Ferrari three years ago.<\/p>\n
Designer Costa was responsible for the ultra-dominant 2014 Mercedes project.<\/p>\n
“It is a shame that Stefano Domenicali is portrayed in the same manner as the scapegoat before him, Aldo Costa,” Fiorio told the German-language Speed Week.<\/p>\n
“It is a simplistic point of view, without analysing the true reasons for success and failure,” he added.<\/p>\n
However, Fiorio thinks Domenicali’s successor, the F1-unknown Marco Mattiacci, needs to be given a chance to perform.<\/p>\n
And he thinks Mattiacci’s lack of experience is not necessarily a fatal flaw.<\/p>\n
“80 per cent of all management decisions are similar, regardless of the industry,” said Fiorio.<\/p>\n
“Only 20 per cent require the knowledge and experience of the specialist area, but this experience cannot be gained in a month or even a year,” he warned.<\/p>\n
But Fiorio thinks Mattiacci has time on his side.<\/p>\n
“The bottom line is that we can already say that 2014 belongs to Mercedes,” he said.<\/p>\n
