Luca Cordero di Montezemolo will leave the presidency of the carmaker Ferrari next October 13 and will be replaced by current chief executive of Fiat Chrysler, Sergio Marchionne. Through a statement published by Chrysler Fiat, Luca was devoted to thank the people that made his stay possible in Il Prancing Horse, from builders to senior officers of the institution, which for many years gave him great satisfaction: "I thank, first and most importantly, the exceptional men and women in the factory, offices, market tours and races worldwide. They were the true architects of the growth of this company, its many memorable victories and its transformation into one of the strongest brands in the world. A warm goodbye hug and thank you very much to fellow technical and commercial side, our worldwide distributors and more, to our customers and collectors whose passion I share with all my heart. " Meanwhile Bernie Ecclestone stated that the Italian’s farewell is comparable to the death of Enzo Ferrari.. "His departure is, to me, just like the death of Mr. Enzo. He has become Ferrari. You see him and you see Ferrari. You do not see anything else. You do not see Luca. " This event happened couple of hours after it was announced that Emilio Botin, president of Banco Santander, had passed away, it seems that what it comes out from the situation of Fernando Alonso, puts into question whether to continue or not in the Italian team.
