From Luca di Montezemolo a sarcastic joke about Ferrari

Former Ferrari president Luca Cordero di Montezemolo in an interview with the Quotidiano Nazionale threw a jibe at the Maranello team for the less-than-exciting season that recently ended and especially for the long fasting for world titles that grips the only team that has participated in all Formula 1 world championships.

Martino DavidiFerrari, comes an award that smells like a tease to fans

Ferrari’s season has been nothing short of disastrous.
No wins (apart from Hamilton’s sprint in China) and only a few podiums by Leclerc.
Too little since there was even talk of world title possibilities.
The reds never really struggled with the McLarens and Verstappen.
With the season over, however, came a recognition that certainly does not satisfy the fans.
Ferrari in fact completed the fastest pit stop of the'year.
The mechanics in short did their part.
Even John Elkann pointed the finger at the drivers, extolling the team.
L'next year with the new regulations everything will change.
Leclerc and Hamilton will be called upon to take advantage.

“Whether Bologna will win the Scudetto first or Ferrari the Formula 1 world championship? With the air in Maranello, Bologna does first…,” said Montezemolo, a big fan of the Rossoblù team, which has not won a Serie A championship since 1964, from the famous play-off played at the Olimpico and won 2-0 against Helenio Herrera’s Grande Inter that had just taken home the Champions Cup.

Ferrari has not won a world title since 2008, when it won the constructors’ title, so 2025 has already set a new record for abstinence from rainbow titles: 17 years, twelve months longer than the period between 1983 and 1999, when, in both cases, the team took home two constructors’ titles.

The negative record for the drivers’ title, on the other hand, 21 years without success between Jody Scheckter’s in 1979 and Michael Schumacher’s in 2000, has not yet been broken. In 2026, the fast will reach 19 years: the last driver to win a world championship in a Maranello car was Kimi Raikkonen in 2007. Will Charles Leclerc, or Lewis Hamilton, the members of the Dream Team, as it was somewhat hastily dubbed in early 2025, be able to limit this abstinence to 19 years?
