Ferrari finished the 2020 season in P6, claiming 131 points – far away from the front. Now, John Elkann, the interim president, has the behemoth task of changing the current state of the Maranello team. Recently, he talked about the performance of the team and the way forward.
A week ago, Elkann witnessed Ferrari’s test drive session at Fiorano. During the conference call with financial analysts on the 2020 accounts, he said, “A great past doesn’t necessarily mean a great present and a great future.”
