Tabloid news but still interesting if true.

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo is reportedly considering walking away from the Scuderia in favour of a position in government.

Di Montezemolo has steered the Italian stable to six Drivers' Championship titles and eight Constructors' victories since being appointed president of Ferrari in November 1991.

However, his days in charge could soon be over.

According to the Daily Mail, the Italian is "considering leaving Formula One to take up a senior government post in the coalition that seeks to overthrow Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi."

Berlusconi is set to face a confidence vote on December 14 and should the Italian PM lose, it "remains to be seen whether the call of his country could yet persuade" di Montezemolo to stand for office.

The British tabloid even goes as far as to say that di Montezemolo "might even take over from Berlusconi himself."

di montezemelo is mr ferrari, i would be very surprised if he left

[Gaz]

if he was made italian PM would he have a Ferrari as his ministerial car?

[Fact Man]

Maybe with all the stories being leaked from Wikileaks about Berlusconi, DiM might have a shot.

Is anyone familiar with how popular he is in Italy (beside the fact that he's at Ferrari)?

LDM has already sent out invitations to reporters and media to attend a press conference he is calling. It is scheduled for 16th December. Would I leave being the boss of Ferrari to go into politics ..... if ever I said yes to that I think it would be time for a frontal lobotomy.

BTW these rumors about LDM have been circulating since the middle of 2010.

My bet is LDM will announce a take-over bid for FOM with Flavio (standing next to him on-stage in his "budgie-smugglers") who will be the new CEO.
