Zetsche worried about Marchionne exit

Zetsche worried about Marchionne exit

Mercedes CEO Dieter Zetsche is concerned about the change at the very top at Ferrari.

With Sergio Marchionne reportedly gravely ill, Ferrari has appointed a new chairman as well as CEO.

The new bosses, John Elkann and Louis Camilleri, met with the Maranello team's boss Maurizio Arrivabene on Monday, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

That meeting included video conference calls with Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen, the report added.

"Winning the world championship is Ferrari's only goal," said Elkann afterwards.

What is clear is that the Ferrari management change has a big impact. Raikkonen, for instance, is believed to perhaps now be the favourite to keep his seat for 2019.

Earlier, Charles Leclerc appeared to have been selected by Marchionne to be Vettel's teammate.

But even beyond the driver situation, Marchionne's departure is significant.

"I have always worked together well with Sergio, even throughout our battles," Mercedes and Daimler CEO Zetsche told Ansa news agency.

"I don't know what will happen now, because we must start over. I have no doubt that I will continue to have good relations as I did with Sergio.

"It is clear, however, that we had reached certain fixed points on which we could work together. This will no longer be possible," Zetsche said.

"The future is a big question mark."

Amen to that, one of the best automotive industry captains of recent years. An astounding turnaround of Fiat and Chrysler and steering Ferrari to a strong future.

    The new boss very lucky to come in when Ferrari are at the top of their game, they won't be making any changes with this in mind, hopefully CL will get the seat as we need new blood and Kimi can't win a race to save his life despite being so close so many times!

      correct. I very very strongly believe Charles could win a race in the current Ferrari ( most top talent can: ALO, RIC, VER, VET, HAM ). Make no mistake, Kimi and Bottas are good second drivers, but I hope Ferrari brings in two first class drivers to the game in 2019.
