Maurizio Arrivabene has moved to play down speculation Ferrari could be about to lose Sebastian Vettel and James Allison.

The Italian refused to speak to the English speaking media Hungarian Grand Prix but has now spoken out again rumours about the team.

"Sebastian never said once that he doesn't like the atmosphere in Ferrari," Arrivabene reportedly told Italian reporters in Budapest. "On the contrary, he has said numerous times that he is very comfortable in the team."

"A couple of months ago, journalists began to ask Kimi the same question, and after him it was my turn, that (James) Allison would soon take my place," he said. "Now that we confirm the contract with Kimi the press is saying that Allison is leaving! You know what? Please, let us work in peace."

Arrivabene denied that there is low morale at the team.

"That's not true," the Italian insisted. "This is a strong and united team. This supposedly low morale is all just stories to try to make us have low morale, but we never give up - never, never, never."

    It is rather strange that this guy is only complaining and hiding from everyone. At the end of the day all the fans of F1 are paying Ferrari F1 team a great amount of money. If they are unwilling to discuss rumors, performances and F1 tech aspects they should leave. Toto Wolf, Christian Horner and other are constantly giving interviews and opinions, but not Ferrari. WTF
