Ferrari President came up with rather humourous reply to questions on his retirement from formula one and entering politics.

Speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport he replied to the query, "Me in politics? Yes, with Alonso as prime minister."

"I would have him because he has the strongest character and is optimistic but also a realist."

He then went on to name the names of drivers who would be involved in his cabinet of ministers.

"Vettel, who is smart and fast, Rosberg for being able to hold off Schumacher, Perez for his talent and Hamilton, a great champion," he said.

He also named the three legends of formula one, "Lauda, who was able to never pay for anything, not even a drink, Schumacher never gave up, and before he died Senna told me that his dream was to win a world championship with Ferrari."

However, Ferrari's current driver Felipe Massa didn't find a mention.

On a serious note, Montezemolo admitted that Ferrari have started on the backfoot in the current season, and says the going will be tough.

"I expect some improvement, but it will be difficult to reverse the situation in one week," he said.

He then blasted modern F1 and it's reliability much on aerodynamics, "Because we are building cars, not planes or satellites."

He also criticised stewards of Malaysian GP for penalising Alonso and Lewis Hamilton, "Let’s not overreact, it was a great fight between them," he concluded.

Nando would be a perfect PM.

In the Gordon 'i'm a moron' Brown mould. Nothing would ever be his fault.

The fact that Felipe doesn't get a mention is telling.
