A restructuring of an organisation is always a difficult time and delicate.


Sometimes you are lucky, sometimes you're unlucky. It all weighs out at the end. That is my experience at least.

We are always full of the types of people who retire or die. But they are never saying 'This guy is really unbelievable; we're alive to witness an exceptional performer.' I think we should recognise that while we are still racing.


You need the right balance between data and gut feeling.

You cannot expect a driver who has just lost a shot at pole position to run around with a smile on his face. You need to accept that he is upset in a different way to how we are upset.

I've been involved in motorsports from the commercial point of view for many years with my involvement with DTM and managing other businesses, such as a rally business as well where we are collaborating with Red Bull.

Every team can have a shot at the title, and we're seeing all of them as a potential threat. There's absolutely no feeling of entitlement to be at the front.

People enjoy watching sports at the weekend and watching motor racing and whatever sports, and Formula One is the number one global platform which is competing regularly - not like the Olympic Games or the World Cup - so the macro case was this is something that we should be part of because it's going to grow, and it does.

Marchionne has a clear vision of what F1 should represent for Ferrari, which is a purist sport that isn't a shopping channel. I would strongly encourage the sport's stakeholders not to provoke him.

The way we are getting parts and services is just in time, at the last minute, into the U.K., and any major disruption in borders and taxes would massively damage the Formula One industry in the U.K.
