Head of Ferrari Academy Massimo Rivola leaves Formula 1 team

Head of the Ferrari driver Academy Massimo Rivola has parted ways with Scuderia to join MotoGP team Aprilia. Rivola has been running the Academy since 2016 and has pushed Charles Leclerc into the Ferrari seat for 2019.

Rivola, 46, was once part of the Toro Rosso set-up acting as team manager. The Aprilia team have gone through many changes as they look to come-back from a disappointing campaign.

There's been no official confirmation from the Ferrari team about the departure or who will take over the role.
