Ex-Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo was apart of Michael Schumacher's title-winning years. He has seen Ferrari at their best, and at their worst.

As always, the Ferrari is red, but this years' colour is slightly weaker. However, Montezemolo will take back is concerns if the car beats Mercedes and the rest of the field after Abu Dhabi.
"The Ferrari red, in my opinion, is sacred, it is a brand recognised across the world and therefore I do not really like it," Montezemolo told TuttoSport.
"It is like changing the colour of a flag and I am not convinced by the story that in doing so we have saved some weight. But if all this should lead to a long-awaited success, then I would be willing to put aside the sorrow for the colour."
