Rumours are swirling that Ferrari are set to collaborate with Dallara, a specialist Italian race car manufacturer.
"Contact with Dallara? Yes, there was," confirmed Ferrari team boss Maurizio Arrivabene, according to La Repubblica.
"We are planning to re-launch the Emilian motor valley to be able to answer the challenge posed by the English motor valley, where in a few kilometres there are the factories of Mercedes, Red Bull, Williams, Renault, Force India and Manor".
Former F1 driver and Italian Jarno Trulli was also asked about the Dallara-Ferrari speculation, and he answered: "This joint venture of an Italian motor valley - if confirmed - would be a good thing."
A sort of Ferrari-Dallara collaboration is already in play in F1, as Dallara helps the unofficial Ferrari 'B team' Haas with their chassis.
