[Agent Orange]

Ferrari finally seeing the light and LDM moving on? John Elkann taking over?

The same LDM that brought them previous F1 success and transformed a struggling car firm into the powerhouse it is today.

And then we're forgetting the Schumacher years also of utter dominance.

I would hope any changes would see someone of the same pedigree coming in to take over.

Wouldn't dispute that and he certainly turned around the road car business. Likewise hiring Byrne during the Schumacher years and of course Brawn and Todt too were good moves.

But that was 10 years ago. More often than not since then the Ferrari has just not been good enough and commentators and drivers a like state the car lacks pace year after year.

Consider too the decision to hold on to Massa far too long than his performance warranted and the mishandling of Kimi leaving and returning this year. Plus the failures around the wind tunnel which are attributed to a personal decision by LdM and I start to see someone who's time is up.

That's not to undermine what he achieved but everything comes to an end and I feel Ferrari requires new leadership and LdM needs to move on.

He's gone.
