The former head of Ferrari Luca Di Montezemolo under whom Michael Schumacher won 5 world titles and Ferrari won 8 constructors titles has revealed that seeing the renewed competitiveness of his much-beloved team is a beautiful thing.
“Seeing such a competitive Ferrari is a beautiful thing. Congratulations to Mattia Binotto and to all the guys on the team who worked very well, united and determined,” said the Italian who was the handpicked successor for the F1 team and iconic automotive brand by Enzo Ferrari himself.

Montezemolo was all praises for Charles Leclerc as well. “Charles Leclerc was able to demonstrate that he is a top-level driver. The season is long, and the opponents will not sleep, but Ferrari could not have asked for a better start to the 2022 F1 season. Let’s continue like this,” he added.
Montezemolo was the man who brought Michael Schumacher to Ferrari and created the dream team which had people like current F1 managing director Ross Brawn, former FIA boss Jean Todt, Rory Byrne who to date consults with the team, and even the current Ferrari F1 boss Mattia Binotto’s tenure started under him.

Montezemolo was pushed out of Ferrari after a board room battle with former FCA chairman Sergio Marchionne. One of the last things Montezemolo did was to hire Sebastian Vettel in late 2014 before he was ousted.
