ESPNF1 Stefano Domenicali has resigned as Ferrari team principal with immediate effect, according to unconfirmed reports in Italy.
I wanted a place to discuss the rumored (but we all know those F1 rumors don't we?) Ferrari events of today. This thread has a lot of content already on it, so no need to repeat what's already been said.
It's my opinion at this point that the first place to begin to fix a problem is to admit that a problem exist. Ferrari are not in denial at this point. Step one, taken.

I sincerely hope it's true!!
And, I agree with you, insisting that we all need to stay "calm" was getting VERY old!
Domenicali might be a great accountant (I think that's what he used to do??); but, as
a Team Principal, he doesn't seem to have the leadership skills Ferrari (or any other
team) needs to keep the team/drivers focussed and motivated!!
I don't think dumping their TP is going to magically gain them some extra KW to the Mercs. Their problem is much more fundamentally deeper than how the team is being run.
... Naa doubt Ross will be in a rush to return to Ferrari

True It depends if Ross wants to return from his hiatus
ESPNF1 "Anyone know where Ross Brawn is?" You imagine that was a regular conversation in the Maranello workshops when news of Stefano Domenicali offering himself (it says here) as sacrificial lamb became public. The next question (muttered beyond management earshot) should have been:"Anyway, what bloody good is blaming Stefano going to do?"
Ferrari are in the clag, and no mistake. The trouble is, the top man doesn't like walking in it with his posh loafers. Luca di Montezemolo would prefer to pout and pose when a camera comes within range. For the Ferrari chairman, it's all about having the public share his moment of personal anguish when the red cars are being comprehensively stuffed. For Luca, it's about flicking back the hair in the manner of a miffed Marilyn Monroe rather than jutting his chin like Paul Newman when surrounded by baddies. Having Domenicali take the wrap for the current mess is not worthy of a B-movie.
ESPNF1 Di Montezemolo really ought to take a look in the mirror (I mean that, of course, in the metaphorical sense rather than the practical, with which he is well acquainted). Was it the Ferrari boss who pushed for the 2014 regulations to be changed from the proposed four-cylinder engine to the current V6? I do believe it was. And is it Montezemolo who, having signed up for the new package, is currently rubbishing F1 because his team can't hack it? I do believe it is.
Kimi has come out with a statement about SD leaving.
