Of course, when it comes to reports on Ferrari conveyed by Italy’s press the usual disclaimers apply, meaning that the country’s media usually takes a substance of truth, spins a story with a bout of exaggeration and then multiplies it by five before publication.

Ferrari: Claims Monza defeat fueled by Raikkonen exit ‘disrespectful’
Regardless, it isn’t the first time this year that rumors of an internal rift between the team’s executives have resonated inside the F1 paddock since Ferrari’s title challenge all but vanished after the summer.
The exact bone of contention between Arrivabene and Binotto – if there really is one – isn’t known, but one can easily imagine that it’s probably centered precisely around the red squad’s performance of late, with criticism and reproaches likely fusing from the opposing camps.
