Mr Marchionne was a passionate industrialist, a titan of the automotive industry and a formidable business leader. Our great sporting rivalry and mutual respect in Formula 1 was enhanced by his tenure at the helm of Ferrari.
His dedication to Ferrari was equalled by his intellect and forthright approach to business. He was a tough competitor, an impressive leader and a man of principle whose contribution to the industry and the sport of Formula 1 will live on.
We salute his memory and offer our condolences to Mr Marchionne’s loved ones and colleagues.
