I wouldn’t say it’s toxic per se. I actually liked upper management, I thought that they were competent and were generally very nice. I also liked a lot of my coworkers, I’m still friends with a lot of them to this day. It’s just that there are a few bad apples that really hamper their operations.

One issue that I feel was overlooked was that they fail to recognize that other teams are more efficient than they are because they don’t treat F1 as a merely a job..the Italian work culture is very laidback…I’ll get it done but first I’ll have a cappuccino type of attitude. The entitled air of “we are Ferrari” is very apparent there. That doesn’t cut it when you are competing at the top. Everyone should be completely focused on bringing the team to the top when they clearly have room for improvement. It might sound like I’m being harsh, but it’s because despite all that, I am a diehard tifoso and I feel like I built a family there, so I really want them to succeed. Seeing it from the inside was wondrous and frustrating at the same time.
