Ferrari’s F1 operation has been based at Maranello for 82 years. Is a change in the pipeline?
F1 champion Nico Rosberg has suggested Ferrari may be on the brink of making a stunning change by expanding its operation beyond its historic base in Maranello. Ferrari has worked out of Maranello for 82 years, but Rosberg hinted at a possible move away from Italy. Rosberg highlighted the level of excellence at Ferrari not being on par with British teams like Mercedes, noting differences in decision-making processes. Rumours indicate Ferrari might consider opening a subsidiary in the UK due to the F1 ecosystem being there. Currently, Ferrari’s entire operation is based in Maranello, whereas Mercedes is split between facilities in Brackley and Brixworth. Other teams like McLaren, Aston Martin, and Williams have bases in Woking, Silverstone, and Grove, respectively, with Alpine headquartered in Enstone and Red Bull Racing in Milton Keynes. Sauber operates out of Hinwil, Switzerland, and Haas is affiliated with Ferrari, with bases in Kannapolis, Banbury, and Maranello.
