Luca Cordero di Montezemolo returns to chastise Ferrari

Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, former chairman of Ferrari, has returned to talk about the problems of the Redhead in an interview published in Quindici, a periodical of the University of Bologna Master in Journalism program. “There has not, for years, been a set of elements to make a team work. There is a lack of strong leadership and a lack of skills. This is evidenced by the fact that you don”t even get to fight for victory. Inevitable parallels with the past: “Back in the day I had, among others, Jean Todt, Ross Brawn,Rory Byrne, Stefano Domenicali. The problem is not the drivers, even with the best driver if you don”t have these elements you don”t win.

“With the Elkanns I have no relationship. I had relationships with Gianni Agnelli, who for me was a mix between a father and an older brother, and also with Umberto. Today I am very focused on what I do. Also because, since I left Ferrari, no one has ever asked me for advice or ideas to improve the situation”. Chapter Schumacher: “He was a team man. Like Lauda, when he won it was the team that did it. Niki was one of the best friends of my life and who like me was very young when he started. Michael was a man who had speed in his blood. To think that he was hurt in a trivial accident in the snow makes one suffer even more”.

“Who should be more worried between Ferrari fans and Juventus fans? It”s a good match,” Luca Cordero di Montezemolo had responded in recent days with a joke to Tutti convocati on Radio 24, speaking of the uninspiring moment of the Maranello team, which once again is forced to witness the triumphs of others, and of the Old Lady, lagging behind in the league and not particularly well placed in the Champions League. “I have to tell the truth, looking to the future, I think Ferrari fans should be more worried. So is Spalletti the right man to lift Juve? This I do not know”, the seasoned manager had said then.
