Ferrari threat is not a bluff

FERRARI could lead other Formula One teams into an alternative championship if the sport becomes too much like NASCAR, but says they hope it doesn’t come to that.

Fiat Chrysler chief executive Sergio Marchionne said his threats to take Ferrari out of the sport should not be taken lightly. He took issue with Formula One managing director Ross Brawn’s approach.

“Making cars all the same with simpler and cheaper engines is like NASCAR,” he said.
