End of an Era

 Luca Cordero Di Montezemolo stepped down from his duties as Ferrari's chairman after 23 years.  67 years old was born in Italy, home of prancing horse, surely he made his mark to the history of the Ferrari.
 He studied Law in Italy and continued his education in commercial law at New York.
 Montezemolo started his Ferrari journey in Fiat later on he began to work in Ferrari as Enzo Ferrari's assistant in 1974. He has seen 14 Constructors  Champions and and 9 Drivers Champions in his time at Scuderia Ferrari. FOTA has found by him and ruled by him between 2008-2010. He became the one of the most familiar faces of Formula One.
 Unfortunately  after the Schumacher's glamorous years of Ferrari, team have started go down to hill. Drivers changed, team members fired, new faces came to team. Lastly Stefano Domenicali has been replaced by Marco Mattiacci as Team Principal. Lots of names took the responsibility of the unsuccessful years. But still the most successful team of the Formula 1 in terms of numbers can't bring back the car to number one position.
 Italian GP, all the press waited the Italian came out and announce his stepping down as chairman but he talked about his 'commitment' to the team. 
 The waiting news came down on Wednesday from Marenello. Montezemolo was stepping down and  Sergio Marchionne , Fiat's chairman, is going to be the new chief of the Italian team. Montezemolo talked about that emotional day as his 'Last day of school'.










 Montezemolo: "This is the end of an era and so I have decided to leave my position as chairman after almost 23 marvellous and unforgettable years in addition to those spent at Enzo Ferrari's side in the 1970s."


 He thanked specialy to team members and very few special words for Todt and Schumacher.
 Ferrari's older chairman had been great impact in the sport and one of the greatest names of it's history. Ferrari faced really bad years in terms of Formula 1 success in recent years.  This departure will bring a great change in the team. I believe that this change will bring Ferrari a new boost on the track.
 Formula 1 has changed a lot and this change is still going on. F1 grid saw the maximum F1 champions on the track. Team ruled by engineer won the championship, a 'energy drink' sponsored team dominated. Silver arrows back in the game now.

Ferrari undermined these changes but that did not bring them to success they asked. 

                                                                                                                                               This huge role change in the team should come with different state of mind and hopefully wake the Ferrari up so they can fit to this new world of Formula 1.
