Montezemolo: “Alonso the strongest rider in the world”

This morning during a meeting with the famous Australian journalist Peter Robinson, in Maranello to test
LaFerrari, Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo also responded to questions about the Scuderia's moment.

In particular, when asked about the rumors about Alonso, the President said: “Fernando is the strongest driver in the world, who gives 200% in every race. He knows how much I count on him even off the track for the contribution and energy he transmits to the team. I find it incredible that there are still some supposed experts who haven't understood it and who are always looking for a controversy that doesn't exist." “The truth” – continued Montezemolo – “is that he and Kimi, another extraordinary driver, must have a competitive Ferrari, this is our only objective. We are all working intensely, starting with Marco Mattiacci who knows how many things there are to do and who will bring many changes at a technical, organizational and speed of decision-making level. But this is what I, our riders and our fans want, the rest is just talk."

To Peter, in Maranello for his last official assignment, the President gave a flap from the front wing of Fernando Alonso's 2012 single-seater.
