Luca and Michael, Michael and Luca

So Luca Di Montezemolo figures it's time to leave.

What does he mean, "a cycle is over?" I should think Ferrari have reached a high point in a cycle, certainly not to have completed one.

If he's not on FIAT's board, which is obvious, or he would have known about the sale, then he's not very high on the "need to know" list. Must have been a hell of a blow to his ego.

I have read some web stories recently, which claim that Michael and Luca are not getting along as famously as in the past, especially in light of recent events, which have caused poor Michael a good deal of embarrassment, and damage to his, ahem, reputation.....

Knowing Michaels' pull within Ferrari, do you think he's helping things along, as it were, with a little behind the scenes manoeuvering, discreetly, of course?

Possibilities for replacement, anyone?
