Follow usFormer Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo made a rare media appearance after the recent events around the team regarding the replacement of Mattia Binoto by Frédéric Vasseur and difficulties over the course of the 2023 F1 season..
Under the leadership of Di Montezemolo, Ferrari achieved its greatest successes in Formula 1 – complete dominance between 2000 and 2004 and five consecutive world titles for Michael Schumacher.
“For me, already as a fan, the following is important: even if Ferrari doesn’t always win, at least the team fights for the title until the last start – Luca explained to the Italian publication Quotidiano Nazionale. – We may lose, but we will be among the main characters in the championship, not extras.”
“Now we are enjoying a 3rd place, as it happened at Spa, but this is not in Ferrari’s style, for Enzo Ferrari this would be unacceptable – added Di Montezemolo. – But Leclerc is a good driver and I don’t think that now Ferrari can attract a driver who is better than Leclerc. At the moment, the Ferrari drivers are definitely not the team’s problem.”.
