Scuderia Ferrari Formula One team have officially denied that its team principle Maurizio Arrivabene threatened to kill a cameraman in the Abu Dhabi pitlane on Friday.
Respected Formula One photographer Darren Heath posted on Twitter a message indicating that Arrivabene had an altercation with a cameraman filming for broadcaster Sky Sports and threatened "Do that again and I’ll cut your f*cking head off!"
“Yes, there was an incident,” a Ferrari spokesman confirmed. “The cameraman bumped a mechanic. Maurizio intervened but he only gave him a warning.”
Later on Heath removed his message and replaced his words stating,
“Learnt a lesson today on how tweets sent when emotions are high can be damaging.”
It just goes to show, even with the championship over emotions still run high in the Formula One paddock.
