Ferrari should be 'protagonists, not extras’, says disappointed ex-chairman Luca di Montezemolo

Di Montezemolo, who oversaw Ferrari and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Schumacher’s period of F1🌸 domination in the early 2000s, stepped dow🐈n from his long-time role amid a poor 2014 season.
Ferrari last won a world championship in 2008, while168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Kimi Raikkonen remains th🍌e last driver to win a drivers’ world title for F1’s most famous team, in 2007.
The team threatened to challenge Red Bull last year but saw their title bid collapse in spectacular fashion mid-season, leaving168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Max Verstappen to cruise to the🍌 championship. Ferrar☂i have fallen even further adrift in 2023.
Di Montezemolo says he expected more from Ferrari in the decade that has passed ꧋since his departure.
“As a fan I dream of a Ferrari not that always wins, but that fights for t𒉰he title un🤪til the last race,” he told .
“As in 1997, 1998, 1999, 2008, 2010, 201ꦕ2. You can lose, but as protagonists, not as extras.”

The Italian believes Ferrari need to tie down168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Charles Leclerc for as long as possible but says th🐷e Maranello outfit’🐽s problem is not their drivers.
“He’s g🧸ood and I don’t think there are free riders stronger than h🅺im,” Di Montezemolo said of Leclerc.
“But in the present who drives the red is the least of the problems. As president I had built a dream team, from Schumi to [Jean] Todt, from [Ross] B💯rawn to [Rory] Byrne.”
