After Marchionne's death, Camilleri was going to keep things stable.....Vettel-Kimi for 2019 and Leclerc still with Sauber plus Arrivabene still at Ferrari. After all, Camilleri is taking direction from Arrivabene.
"Interestingly, it was Ferrari chairman, Sergio Marchionne, who appointed Arrivabene, and in the wake of end-of-season reports that his position was under threat, the Italian snapped "My position? Ask, Camilleri", referring to the new Ferrari chairman following Marchionne's passing in the summer."
That all changed and more recently as well...then:
"The man driving the claims of the team going the wrong way in its development was Arrivabene, which ultimately led to claims that Binotto was to leave Ferrari in a move that which would trigger an off-season game of musical chairs which could include James Allison heading to Renault. However, Arrivabene dismissed the talk as a deliberate attempt to destabilise the team."
It's not just [Autobild] reporting this but this article as well. Maybe both articles got their info from the same Italian source???..maybe.
Elkann stepped in with Leclerc (that was a hard pill to swallow but I get it "out with the old(Kimi) in the with the new sorta thing") and Elkann stepped in with Arrivabene's firing and hiring Binotto due to what happened in the 2nd half of the season.
Arrivabene is marketing, Binotto is technical...IN F1!!!! This is a good move for the Scuderia. Talk is that all this change will de-stabilize the team and I'm telling you this will re-energize the team IMO....if it has'nt already. My only concern is the 2nd half of the season but I'm more than sure Binotto will not let that happen....again!!

Maybe, just maybe, Vettel is talking to Elkann of what changes need to be made....not with Leclerc....but with Binotto. This is hypothectical of course.
