Ferrari are using future sporting and technical regulations as the reason for them wanting to pull out. But let's get real. It's most likely the $100M per year bonus which is under review being the real reason for them wanting to pull out.
Another thing I didn't like about Marchionne - is the way he finger pointed and singled out Ross Brawn as being "the problem" on FOM/Liberty Media's side. That was truly unprofessional. And unjust. Brawn has been a breath of fresh air for F1.
Ferrari have short memories. When Ferrari dominated F1 in the 2000's, who was it that was a lead figure at the team in that time??
I sincerely hope that Ferrari do leave F1. Would be a breath of fresh air.
