Former
Ferrari team principal to replace Chase CareyLewis Hamilton named in Time magazine’s influential listThe former Ferrari team principal, Stefano Domenicali, is set to be announced as the new chief executive of
Formula One. Domenicali will replace Chase Carey before the 2021 season and a formal announcement from owners, Liberty Media, confirming his appointment is expected shortly.
Domenicali was sporting director at Ferrari when they took six consecutive constructors’ championships, between 1999 and 2004. The 55-year-old Italian took over as team principal from Jean Todt, who had led the team through that great success with Michael Schumacher, in 2008 – the last time the Scuderia won the constructors’ championship. He left the team in 2014 and has been president of the FIA single seater commission since then and joined Lamborghini as their chief executive in 2016.
