Stella Demands Journalists Tidy Up Before Interviews
Andrea Stella, head of Ferrari's race team, has established a strict tradition: all media sessions are delayed by one or two minutes to allow him time to sort out the mess left behind by journalists. This process involves cleaning up their scattered phones and recording devices.
This ensures that Stella enjoys a pristine workspace, which he sees as essential for his interviews. The practice is well-known even outside the paddock, showcasing Ferrari's commitment to high standards.
Delaying Interviews
The delays are typically short but can sometimes stretch to up to five minutes depending on the extent of the mess. This ensures that Stella has a clean table before any interviews start.
