(Reuters) - Ferrari are suffering from a "climate of fear" with staff reluctant to take risks in case they are fired, according to the Italian Formula One team's former chief engineer Luca Baldisserri.

"Unfortunately, neither (chairman Sergio) Marchionne nor (team principal Maurizio) Arrivabene have racing experience, a culture that has been lost at the top of the team," he told Italy's Corriere dello Sport newspaper.
