Scuderia Ferrari is steadily resuming operation

Earlier, Ferrari announced on twitter that they are set to open the doors of its headquarters again. They insisted that the safety of their personnel and the suppliers is paramount. Luckily, the company reports that it is thrilled to return to the factory and resume work once again. This way the staff can finally get back to work, after a tough period for everyone.

However, Ferrari’s Formula 1 branch will have to stay closed for a while. This is because the latest F1 regulations decree that the factory will have to remain closed for at least 63 days.
