Ferrari Insider Exposes Carlos Sainz-Related “Political War” as the Tifosi Unite Against $63,000,000,000 Worth Partner: “Ruining the Team”

Ferrari‘s dalliance with Formula 1 has been marred by tragedies. And this isn’t speaking in hyperbole. A team with such storied success and the resources at their disposal hasn’t been able to dominate the sport in the way that it deserves to. This boils down simply to one simple fact. The internal politics at Ferrari have been the single biggest reason why the team from Maranello has not been able to win championships on the regular.

The Scuderia have been called out before for being a “national” team marred with politics. However, another dimension has been added to this angle thanks to Lapo Elkann, the brother of Ferrari top dog, John Elkann. Elkann recently tweeted a rundown of the problems and what the team needs to do. He wrote, “Ferrari needs Seriousness and Winning Team in the Pits and Outside it’s time to WAKE UP enough with politics and games like this WE WILL NEVER WIN” [translated via Google Translate]. And then he went on to call out one of the team’s major sponsors.

In the aftermath of his tweets, the Tifosi and Formula 1 fans rushed to Twitter to share their reactions. And if you’re Carlos Sainz or a fan of his, then you best be prepared for a very bumpy ride.

Fans react as a major conspiracy within Ferrari gets unearthed

As soon as Elkann’s Tweet went viral, fans rushed to the social networking site, Twitter, to share their reactions. One fan even commented, “OMG, and we were called delusional for saying Santander politics is ruining the team.”

Let’s take a look at just a few of the fan reactions to this sensational Lapo Elkann Tweet.

Santander, a Spanish bank valued at $63,000,000,000 currently, was first embroiled in controversy when they allegedly ousted Kimi Raikkonen in favor of countryman Fernando Alonso from Ferrari. And now that they are back with the team in line with Carlos Sainz signing for them, the fans fear a repeat of past mistakes.

Safe to say, the fans aren’t really pleased with how a sponsor has managed to bring so much disarray into an iconic team as Ferrari.
