And what of Fernando Alonso? He will not welcome the upheaval and the turmoil. He has a spectacular offer on the table from McLaren and Honda but how long will it be before they are challenging for the world title? Sooner than Ferrari? There is no route for Alonso to Mercedes – Toto Wolff is not an Alonso admirer – and Red Bull would appear difficult as they have their own home grown talents should Vettel decide to take a McLaren Honda offer.
It was noticeable that the tone changed subtly this weekend from Alonso and Montezemolo away from mention of “extending” his contract to simply seeing out the remaining two years. Alonso has to wait and see what happens in the aftermath of the exit of Montezemolo.
They say many great careers end in disappointment. If this is to be the way Montezemolo exits, it’s a shame for a man who has achieved so much in 20 years, especially when you consider the shambles Ferrari was as a car company and a racing team in the early 1990s.
But as Marchionne says, “No-one is indispensable”
