“To be honest when I come in the paddock now the pits are different,” said Montezemolo, “There is no fun anymore and I think it's time to think of this.”

Speaking about the proposed breakaway from F1 Montezemolo suggests the sport get back in touch with the human side of things, and he feels that despite the level Ferrari are at just now they still maintain this element to the team. Which is in a way true when you look at the paddock Ferrari seems to be the only team enjoying themselves, whether they would still do so in defeat remains to be seen.

“This is the reason why I am in favour of sitting down and doing something for the future with the teams and the car manufacturers. We want to do things in a different way, and when I say different I mean more fun. We want to recover a little bit the human attitude in F1, which we like to do at Ferrari. I think Ferrari is still a team in which the human element is important.”
