Montezemelo thinking of calling it a day (maybe)

[Spudgun]

I've just spotted this on BBC.

Luca di Montezemolo maybe thinking of stepping down as head of Ferrari. The full story is here:

What are everyone's thoughts on this?

As long as Todt and Brawn remain in place, I can't see much difference to the F1 team, but what does this mean long term?

I've heard rumours for sometime that Luca is headed for a major cabinet-level post with the Berlusconi goverment.

I believe he also is into making perfumes (Aqua di Selva??)and is good at organizing things. I see him more of an example of the italian upper class than a true F1 man.

Luca has a knack for bringing success about and I'm sure he'd do well elsewhere but his departure would not hurt Ferrari much. Jean Todt (the much maligned Jean Todt) would be a different story if he left Ferrari. My guess is that Jean would take over Luca's position...unless it has to be an italian....

Cheers,
