The CEO of Fiat, Sergio Marchionne, in Maranello to join the board of directors of Philip Morris , he may have met with the President of Ferrari Luca Cordero di Montezemolo. Even the latter is in fact in Maranello in the establishment of the “red”, where he previously saw Alonso.

Meanwhile, Della Valle shoots to zero in on a number of Fiat. “We Italians we should not allow these “crafty cosmopolitan” fooling in this way, make sure to always frank. ” So Diego Della Valle in a note after the intervention of Marchionne in Cernobbio in which it calls “to pay taxes in Italy, where Fiat pay workers.” “Marchionne wants to give lessons to the Italians on what and how we need to do in order to emphasize his” Italian pride “is a shameful and offensive.”

Yesterday Marchionne had assured him that the theme dell ‘rotation with Montezemolo to the president of the house of Maranello, “not on the agenda,” but warned that “no one is indispensable.” Especially if you look at the results in Formula One, where the Prancing Horse has not won for six years.

The next day, the words of a number of Ferrari that had to Monza said to have given his willingness to stay for another three years in Maranello, where he is chairman since 1991, Marchionne has not only condemned the statements, it is replicated to the good budget numbers cited by attacking Montezemolo, indirectly, on sporting performance: “The important thing for Ferrari is not only the results but it is to win and have six years we have trouble. ” “They are two sides of reality that Ferrari are important to us as a shareholder and for us as a company: the first are obviously the results, volumes, something on which Luke did a great job and I congratulate you. The other is the sports management, “says the manager, on the sidelines of the Ambrosetti Workshop in Cernobbio.

” Luca and I are great friends but when I read the statements are things that I never said I myself. I consider myself of course essential but I know that I am in the service of the company. Then create positions, illusions that we are outside of the rules, outside of dependency that exists between the company and are crap, there are no “attacks. “The heart of Ferrari – argues – is to win in Formula 1 and I’m a fan for years. See Ferrari in these conditions having the best drivers, box of exceptional quality, which engineers are really good, see that system there and see that we do not win in 2008. “

Of the rest ‘ company from Maranello is increasingly integrated into the group Fiat Chrysler, ready to turn into Fca and land on Wall Street on October 13, after transferring the tax office in London and offices in Amsterdam. Consequently, there is the number one Fca, ie Marchionne, also takes in hand the reins of the subsidiary (90%, the rest of Piero Ferrari). So far, things were different: “We manage by Luca made for a period for two reasons,” recalls the manager citing, in addition to the results in Formula One, “the independence of the Ferrari also with regard to the product and positioning Ferrari’s market it was important that it separated from Fiat. ” That said, he continues, that “for me and that is for him as for everyone else: we are at the service of the company. When the company changes its mind, or at least there is more convergence of goals, things change. ” Even more so if we take into account that “the essential part of what we do is to present a winning Ferrari in Formula 1. It ‘a very clear goal and we can not accept a different situation. “

Meanwhile in Maranello work has already taken at full speed, to try not to lose focus on’ development activities in the course and regain competitiveness in the shortest possible time, as shown in the Team Principal of Scuderia Ferrari Marco Mattiacci. This was reported by the website of the Red Army. As engineers analyze data collected in Monza, Maranello are also both drivers, divided between promotional commitments with sponsors and technical meetings, and expected by the President Montezemolo, eager to infuse their new office for the rest of the season. Kimi will take advantage of to carry on the work on the simulator and on that occasion also try the new circuit in Sochi, site of the first Grand Prix of Russia on 12 October. Waiting for Fernando, who last week had already shot virtually on the circuit built around the Olympic village, a series of technical briefings aimed at sharing programs on the agenda in the coming months and for the remaining six races of the championship, beginning with the next GP Singapore.

‘E’ a business problem. “ So the president of Confindustria Giorgio Squinzi today responded, without another word, which reporters on the sidelines of Unindustria to the Bologna asked if Luca Cordero di Montezemolo was essential for Ferrari.
