Luca Cordero di Montezemolo lands at McLaren: his clarification
Luca Cordero di Montezemolo at McLaren is news that has inevitably left Ferrari supporters in shock. After all, this is still the head of the Maranello racing team in the days of Niki Lauda and then the president of the Cavallino in the years of Michael Schumacher’s triumphs. Two eras when McLaren was the team’s fixed opponent. The person directly involved therefore wanted to shed light on the’operation.
As uncovered by ‘RMC Motori’ as early as Friday, in fact, Montezemolo has agreed to become “director of the holding company” in McLaren, but this does not mean that we will see him again in Formula 1 in an apex role in a scuderia that has always been an opponent of “his” Ferrari. A clarification that, a few hours later, he himself wanted to make. Words that, in any case, confirm that his yes to Woking is real.

“My heart is and will always remain red. I have become a member of the board of directors of McLaren Automotive, which produces road cars and is not involved in Formula 1″, indeed, Montezemolo wanted to specify, speaking to l’Ansa. Whose role therefore will not involve a challenge on the track to that Ferrari for which he worked between the ’70s and 2000s seeing two-time world champion Niki Lauda, five Michael Schumacher and one Kimi Raikkonen graduate.
Montezemolo’s new duties instead include a role in McLaren’s GT and Supercar branch. Moreover, the’former Ferrari chairman will work for McLaren Group Holdings Limited, a group that holds only a minority stake in the larger McLaren Racing.
