Todt: “Montezemolo's departure is normal”

Despite the season falling short of expectations and standards Jean Todt is keen to defend the Ferrari. Interviewed by the newspaper, the President of the FIA ​​in fact wanted to underline how overall the results obtained are not as far fetched as one would like to make them out to be.

“I don't think he will have to work very hard to get back to the top, after all the situation is decidedly less complicated than when I arrived in 1993. At the time seeing the finish line was already a miracle, while today we have a driver like Fernando Alonso who up until Monza he held the record for races finished in points” - his thoughts.

However, regarding Montezemolo's abandonment he declared: “He was president for twenty-three years, therefore for a rather long period. In large companies it is normal that at a certain point the cycle closes. I too was aware that one day I would have to leave."
