Former Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali is set to make a return to F1 with the Scuderia. Domenicali left the team in 2014 after a period of disappointment with Fernando Alonso missing out on two world championships.

With Ferrari replacing Maurizio Arrivabene with technical chief Mattia Binotto, questions have been raised in Italian media as to whether someone could come in to take the weight of the role off of Binotto.

"Who will negotiate the Concorde Agreement with Liberty Media? Binotto will have other things to do," Italian journalist Fulvio Solms pointed out.

Other outlets in Italy report similar, with the sharing of the team boss role deemed a likely possibility. Domenicali currently presides over Lamborghini as CEO and during his tenure has seen sales rise by 50% according to reports.

Corriere dello Sport also tipped Domenicali to replace Louis Camilleri as Ferrari CEO. According to them, Ferrari chairman John Elkann is reportedly eager for the appointment of Domenicali as a replacement.
