Former Ferrari engineer thinks team needs charismatic leader again
Jul.8 - Former Ferrari engineer Luigi Mazzola thinks the biggest problem at the fabled Maranello team today is the lack of a "dominant" leader.
Since Stefano Domenicali was ousted in 2014, the Italian team has been run by a sequence of team bosses.
Even the upper management of the company at large has been in a state of flux, and according to Mazzola that lack of a "dominant figure" is hurting Ferrari.
"The exact problem is the lack of a dominant figure like (Luca di) Montezemolo," he told the Italian F1Sport podcast Pit Talk.
"He was a charismatic leader and a Ferrari man through and through since 1970.
"Then you had a (Jean) Todt and a (Ross) Brawn, creating a situation of competence under pressure because the goal was to win and nothing else," added Mazzola, who was a Formula 1 engineer with Ferrari for over 20 years.

charismatic sharismatic.....how about some competence? The strategy bungups alone suggest a lack of that commodity. One of the best driver combos on the grid...they deserve a chance to win.
Rumour has it curly only agreed to have this picture taken after CarlosBigHair had put his helmet on , because he wanted his curls to be front and centre .
Hopefully the next boss, some time soon, we give interviews. You hardly ever see a Ferrari boss giving interviews on race day, Toto and Horner seem to be at the medias beck and call. Maybe Ferrari have fallen out with CH4 and Sky?
if they get themselves on the podium , they'll get interviews simple
Bet they have a deal with Italian media to stay away from others.
interesting thought , could be possible, although the italian media aren't that polite when ferrari aren't doing but but yeah maybe
maybe.sky are two faced fucks.laughing with you and laughing at you later.no wonder ferrari dont want interviews with them.
