Ferrari chairman Sergio Marchionne has said that 2015 formula one season would be another testing year for the team after enduring a disappointing season in the previous edition.

Earlier this month, Maurizio Arrivabene succeeded Marco Mattiacci as new team principal.

The Fiat Chrysler chief executive, who took the charge as chairman of the team in October, said that 2015 would be a difficult year that would put the team to a real test, adding that it would be Maurizio's first full year with the team, the BBC reported.

In addition, four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel has replaced Fernando Alonso as the new team driver for the upcoming season.

According to Marchionne, two race wins next year would be considered as a success, the report added.

Marchionne further said that within the next 12 months they would hopefully remove all the baggage of uncertainty that would plague at least the initial phase of 2015, adding that they started late with the 2015 car.
