Luca Di Montezemolo wants to talk money

Luca Di Montezemolo wants to talk money

As with all sports, the talk is never about the players, the sportsmen, or the teams, it’s usually about the politics behind the game. I think this is why we love them so much. There has to be controversy, the more battles the better, it’ll keep the PR ball rolling when the season isn’t…

It seems that Formula one teams, or the association that represent the teams, may come to blows with Bernie Ecclestone over the way he runs and handles Formula 1.

Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo has a number of grievances and issues which are decisions made by the one man, Ecclestone himself. Di Montezemolo believes it’s time to end the dictatorship that runs Formula 1.

However, some of the issues seem to be about money – what a surprise… Ecclestone has responded with some Ferrari hometruths about receiving more money than any other team.

We’ll wait to see how this plays out.
