"I think it's absurd and dangrous" says di Montezemolo on rule changes

"I think that Ferrari can say that working together and uniting our strength is what we believe in every day," Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo said at the meeting with the Italian President Giorgio Napolitano, visiting the Works in Maranello.

"We really do admire you and we've always admired also your costant call for the country to unite its strength and to work together to create what we call team spirit. We've always tried to carry it ahead thanks to passionate people, who know how to work and who know how to compete on the market and on the race track. That Ferrari has won eight Championships over the last ten years it's thanks to exceptional men behind exceptional results, men who never gave up, who never rested, who always new what to do."

During the President's visit Montezemolo was asked to comment again the political situation in Formula 1 after the latest decision of the FIA World Council: "I really think it's absurd, severe and dangrous that one week before the first Grand Prix Formula 1 is in such a situation, which is very bad for its credibility, its security, the teams, the car manufacturers, the fans, the journalists and the sponsors who invest. I hope for a responsabile climate, which has been started by us, the teams, with a cost reduction of 50%. It's important to have a serene climate and to avoid continuous changes, creating uncertainty for those who work and making decisions for the future difficult."
