“You Only Hear Sirens”: Ferrari F1 Boss Highlights the Miserable Situation of Italy Right Now Due to Coronavirus

Once the coronavirus pandemic struck the world, China was the source of the disease. Later on, it spread like wildfire to the rest of the world, and Italy became one of the worst-hit nations. To be precise, the virus is concentrated in Northern Italy, where the Scuderia Ferrari factory is located.

According to Binotto, there is only one way out of this crisis right now: “We all have to try to stay strong and stick to the rules. That’s all you can do in this situation. The most important thing is that we stay home.”
