For Di Montezemolo, the “queen category” of the Formula 1 little by little loses its appeal, the fault of the events where the public struggles to come. He also takes as an example his visit to 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2009: ?Three years ago, I was so impressed when I was invited to start the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It was a party. You go into the pits of some F1 circuits and it's like a desert. Do you think it's okay that we're running in the middle of nowhere? Without an audience, without fans, without flags, without passion, it’s cold. I do not like it. »

Never short of declarations, the Italian also announced on BBC News that « Sebastian Vettel would be perfect for Ferrari." A stone thrown into the pond?
