Maurizio Arrivabene: Ferrari must overcome 'fear of winning'

Ferrari boss Maurizio Arrivabene has urged his team to rediscover a habit of winning and stop choking when it is close to its goal.

The Italian team missed out on another drivers' title at the Mexican Grand Prix two weeks ago, meaning it has now gone 11 years without winning the championship. The result came after a series of errors by both Sebastian Vettel and the team over the course of the year, and despite Ferrari having a car capable of beating rivals Mercedes for the majority of that time.

"There are areas where we are superior, others where they [Mercedes] are, but I think we still lack the habit of winning," Autosport reported Arrivabene as saying.
