I'm sure a 42yr old with Ferrari CEO of Asia/Pacific and CEO of Ferrari North America already under his belt will be a character.  I really hope he does well and proves us all wrong - there is so little about him on the internet, maybe he's a hard core couch F1 fan like the rest of us who constantly question the real pro's, and now he has his chance to be one himself and do things his way (though somehow I doubt Luca will give him enough room to do it his way).

His job is putting the right people in the right place at the right time.  F1 experience isn't required, but there will be a learning curve!

But without experience, how will he know who the right people are, and what the right place might be? You may have gathered - I'm not impressed with this appointment  ::)

He's probably only temporary anyways.

I think that's what makes him qualified though.  Assuming he's good at managing, then he'll find out who the right people are.  Anyone 'experienced' will have their own ideas of how to do things, and won't necessarily be open to doing it 'right'.

It is a big gamble for sure, on the one hand we have a brand who has been in the sports for 60 years, but on the other hand it has not been in the cutting edge of the racing in the last decade. So they may be trying to revamp the Ferrari outfit, so bringing a fresh mind may help them to give decision without the Ferrari emotions and sentiments.

But the absolute lack of experience in F1, and appointing him for the top post may be a bit too much to gamble. But then again if you are not gambling big, you will not be a big winner.

I think the one thing that is really upsetting me is that I am available and they didn't even call!  :'(

Your reputation regarding Micheal Schumacher cost you the job Monty  :P
Imagine what PR disaster it would have been for Ferrari if their F1 boss regards their crown jewel a "Cheat"  :DD :DD

He's a stop gap isn't he?  They want Ross Brawn, and this guy is going to take charge in the interim  while they try to persuade Ross to come back.  That's my take on it.

I feel sorry for Domenicali.  He's a fair boss, and was also willing to talk and be interviewed.  He also was a lot more open than Todt, who I thoroughly disliked as Ferrari team boss, not least for his ultra 'Schumacher is always first' attitude to running the team, and his deals with the FIA.  In a way, Domenicali was possibly too nice for Ferrari, but I think that he was let down by the design department, and just decided that as team boss, he had to carry the can.

They should have gave Flav a shot.As
much as he's disliked he always got the
job done.Ferrari doesn'tcare aboutpersonal
morals and traits only winning.

I think due to money embezzlement charges as well as others, it will be difficult for Flavio to run operation at Ferrari in Italy, so Ferrari calculated a risk-benefit ratio, and probably the assessment came negative for hiring Flavio. But I do agree with you Dare, he gets the job done, in anyway, regardless of legitimacy or ethical consideration.
