Could this be linked to Todt coming in?

Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo says he is likely to step down from his role as president of FOTA at the end of the year.

The Italian took the role when the Formula One Teams' Association was formed back in July of 2008.

Di Montezemolo says, however, that he is set to quit FOTA to focus on his role as Ferrari and Fiat president.

"I took up the president role because I felt it was good to have teams competing on the track, and talking out of it like sports professionals," di Montezemolo told Autosprint.

"This is what we did. However, I have another job and I can't do everything. So, I really think that I will step down at the end of the year."

More likely divesting himself of some of his less profitable jobs, before announcing his anticipated election campaign to replace Silvio Berlusconi as Italian PM

Now there's a job. "Who do I have to screw to get a coffee around here?" "Well sir we have a fine selection of ladies who'd be happy to accommodate you..." etc etc

Yep, doesn't want to work with him because he gave him the boot at Ferrari.

Probably so he can get back to screwing the other F1 teams with special deals more like.
