F1 | Ferrari, Montezemolo stings Marchionne: “Talking is easy”

In an interview given during the presentation of the new “Italo EVO”, Luca Cordero di Montezemolo launched a small dig at Sergio Marchionne. According to the former President of Ferrari, talking about successes is very simple, but to achieve them you need to carry out work that transcends words. In short, less words and more actions to definitively catch up with Mercedes also on the reliability front.

Precisely in this sense, Montezemolo expressed his opinion on the latest failures in Sepang, underlining how factors of this type are absolutely part of the game. In his own words, “Better a fast car that breaks down than a slow but reliable one”. For the rest, Montezemolo hopes that Sebastian Vettel will be able to bring the title back to Maranello ten years after Kimi Raikkonen.

Here are the words of Luca Cordero di Montezemolo: “Talking about successes is easy, making proclamations even easier. Using words is simple, but to achieve victories you need more. A behind-the-scenes job that transcends everything. The breakdowns in Malaysia are part of the game, but I think Ferrari is a strong team. There is a gap to Hamilton, but the SF70-H is very fast and it's right to believe in it until the end. The problems will sort themselves out over time."
