The CEO of Fiat, Sergio Marchionne, in Maranello to participate alcda of Philip Morris, 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 Army, where he previously saw the Horse driver Fernando Alonso.
Yesterday in Cernobbio Marchionne, speaking of the hypothesis of a change at the head of the house of Maranello, of which speaks with insistence for days, he said that “no one is indispensable.” Even more so, he pointed out, if you look at the results in Formula One, where the Prancing Horse has not won for six years.
Words came in the aftermath of the words of a number of Ferrari, who had told aa Monza that he had given his willingness to stay for another three years in Maranello, where he is chairman since 1991 Marchionne has not only condemned the statements, but responded to the good budget numbers cited by Montezemolo attacking on results: “The important thing for Ferrari is not only the economic but is overcome and we can scarcely six years, “said the head of Fiat. “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, “said the manager.
” Luca and I are great friends but when I read the statements are things that I never told him about 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 CEO are crap, do not exist, “said Marchionne yet.
” The heart of Ferrari – argued again – 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 since 2008 … “were the words of Marchionne.
For the rest of the Maranello company 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. As a result, there is that Marchionne wants to take over the reins of the subsidiary also Ferrari (Fiat has 90%, the rest of Piero Ferrari.)
“We made a deal from Luke period for two reasons, “he recalled again citing Marchionne, along with the results in Formula One,” the independence of the Ferrari also with regard to the product and the positioning of the Ferrari market was important that it separated from Fiat. “
That said, he still continued Marchionne, that is “true for me and 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 is an objective absolutely clear and we can not accept a different situation. “
