Luca Cordero di Montezemolo was at the helm Ferrari between the years 1991 in 2014. The Italian would be in charge Scuderie, when it experienced the most successful period of its existence. “It annoys me because Ferrari has been without a title for so long, and it annoys me even more that they fail to fight for the title until the last race."
A charismatic Italian added: “Of course, it’s not nice to lose a title in the last race. We’ve had a few opportunities, but that’s not the case for years and that amazes me a lot. The main reason is the lack of competitiveness of racing cars, as well as problems with reliability. But here are other factors, such as race tactics, racers. If you want to win in Formula 1, then all the elements must be balanced. It was then that I managed to put together a great team with Jean Todt, Ross Brawn, Rory Byrne and Stefan Domenicali.

The relationship between Sebastian Vetsoil and Charles Leclerc it is not without tension. Montezemolo he said: "A strong memory of the 2019 season were the pole position of Charles Leclerc, who proved to be a racer for victories, is sharp in racing and intelligent, learns quickly from mistakes and shows signs that he can become great in this sport. True, there were moments that were negative for the team, Racers need to be aware that they are not racing for themselves. Otherwise, they can form their own teams - which I once had to put on Rubens Barrichello's heart."
"Sebastian Vettel needs to stay calm and regain confidence in his qualities, which he has in abundance. He must treat the team openly. If a contract like his expires, then this is always a difficult moment in the team. But over the years, he has proven often enough how fast he is. Who will eventually enthrone as the number one racer will be revealed" so Montezemolo. But two alpha males on the team, is that good? “When I was in charge of Ferrari, for example, we had Niki Laudo and Clay Regazzoni, who had to eat a lot because Lauda was a faster racer, which is why we bet on the Austrian. The success confirmed to us that we were doing the right thing, as Niki won two titles, losing the third by a hair."
"Later we had Michael Schumacher and next to him various racers - Eddie Irvine, Rubens Barrichell and Felipe Masso. Everyone was able to win the races, no doubt, but it was also clear that Michael was number one. But that was not our decision, it was the dictates of a stopwatch. After all, you need some clarity in the team regarding the division of roles,”Says the former president Ferrari.
Montezemolo is strongly committed to Hag za Classic Ferrari for sale raced beyond 2020. "Yes, Vettel should stay. He is still fast and has so much experience. He is the right motivator in a crisis. On top of that, it is also useful for the further learning process of Leclerc. Charles has to confirm a great first season with Ferrari, so the pressure on him will be so much greater."
