Marchionne had praised di Montezemolo’s success in leading Ferrari to a successful financial position, but criticised the Formula One team’s failure to win a drivers’ or constructors’ title since 2008, saying: “The important thing for Ferrari is not just financial results but also winning – and we have been struggling for six years.”
