Also why go for a SALE PERSON with no experience of racing!


The way Ferrari state of affairs are you are going to need the best salesperson to convice Alonso and other valuable staff + Santander to stick around for a while.

Domenicalli was too "nice" I say bring on someone with "cojones"

I don't know your work background, but those guys with a proven background in making organisations increase sales legitimately, are some of the biggest ball breakers i have met and they do get results and people do get fired, moved and brought in. Ferrari F1 might be getting a working over personnel wise so all the hurt is felt with Marco in charge before someone like Brawn comes in to do what they do best?

I wonder if that's why LdM has been at the track recently?

He left early from Bahrain, Will Buxton caught a word w/ LdM, he was not happy. I wonder if this is really Stefano stepping down or Luca stepping him down.

Hi SS. My comment was simply an opinion with a zest of humour and nothing else. No one here can judge Mattiacci and the Ferrari decision without a valid argument.

FYI my background was mechanical engineer and worked as from a manufacturing engineer to a project manager and specialized in the automotive industry specifically with the rack & pinion steering gear based on ou own patent. I am quite familiar with this kind of situation, some appointment were positive some were not. Anyway, time will tell.

BTW I was involved in the manufacture of a few racks (for the rack & pinion steering gear of a formula 1 car. at the time it was so confidential that we weren't told which team it was. In our office there were strong rumours about being Williams. I could put that rack in my back pocket while a standard one could weight up to 3.2 Kg and about 600mm long, this one only weighted less than 400g.
nowadays this company is mainly based in Germany and design and manufacture steering gear for various racing cars. For those interested i can post a link.
Car industry is dead down here in Sydney so now I import furniture from China. :)

Perhaps the appointment of Mattiacci is just what the doctor ordered for Ferrari. I Hope so as i feel very disapointed to see one of the best drivers in a "middle of the table" car.

Nice post Iberiafromoz. Good to know more about each other on here. The post wasn't meant to have a go at you personally, more showing a strong personal opinion on those type of managers Mattiacci might be.
The more I read about how quickly he is settling down at Maranello and coming to the next race, the more it seems less of a knee jerk reaction, than something planned from when they were testing pre-season.
That said, the Italian forums are not impressed at all. quotes such as

so we fired Domenicali to get another Domenicali

Don't worry SS I understood very well your meaning...Today I felt to chat a lot. If you were next to me I would have given you a terrible headache. :)

You made a point, everyone seems to be so anonymous in a forum.

I know it from a not so good source.....

https://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/news/formula...940882--f1.html

Ferrari's bosses are convinced that the relatively unknown Marco Mattiacci is just who its Formula 1 team needs to lead it to the front of the grid.

Also why go for a sale person with no experience of racing!

Quote:
 
Ferrari president has said that he has complete confidence in new team principal Marco Mattiacci and added that his Ferrari heritage is more important than F1 knowledge and he has vowed to spend more time in Formula 1 personally.

“I decided to appoint a young manager in whom I have a great deal of confidence and someone from the Ferrari family, rather than going around the world looking for some mercenary,” Montezemolo said yesterday.

“We are full of talent with quality and capability and and we are full of technical people from whom I now expect an immediate reaction. (Mattiacci’s) appointment, above all, was made in full agreement with (FIAT CEO Sergio) Marchionne.

“I will help him, like I have done in the past I will be closer to F1, I will spend more time there. Let’s look ahead, everyone must do everything they can to return us to competitiveness.”

It is interesting that Montezemolo has said that he will be “more present” in F1, as we have seen with the return of Ron Dennis at McLaren, the big beasts are returning to the jungle, sensing a change in the natural order.

There is a clear sense that F1 is entering a period of change with Bernie Ecclestone’s trial starting next week on bribery charges and – whatever the outcome in Munich – Ecclestone saying that he will step back from full control of the running of the sport to take a more strategic role. Main shareholder CVC wants to retain a stake in the business and grow the commercial revenues significantly and the big beasts want to be involved in what comes next.

Montezemolo and Ferrari have a powerful position in the sport with a veto right and a say in who replaces Ecclestone as Formula 1 CEO. Montezemolo clearly senses that he needs to stay close to the sport in this next period to be able to take advantage of uncertainties and changes in situation.

This is also because he believes wholeheartedly that the sport is on the wrong track in terms of the regulations, as he said in Bahrain, “They are ruining a great sport through the regulations, we will not allow that.” he said. “For us F1 is our life.”

As for Domenicali, the president said, “After 23 years with us, Stefano had the courage to resign, a rare quality in our country. He is paying for the lack of results, that is the law of sport.

Lately "mercenaries" have done a better job than the Ferrari family member? <think>

Isn't Marco Mattiacci Luca Di Montezemolo's son-in-law? <think>
