Maranello, 10th September 2014
“Ferrari will have an important role to play within the FCA Group in the upcoming
flotation on Wall Street. This will open up a new and different phase which I feel
should be spearheaded by the CEO of the Group.

This is the end of an era and so I have decided to leave my position as
Chairman after almost 23 marvellous and unforgettable years in addition to
those spent at Enzo Ferrari’s side in the 1970s.
My thanks, first and foremost, to the exceptional Ferrari women and men from
the factory, the offices, the race tracks and the markets across the world. They
were the real architects of the company’s spectacular growth, its many
unforgettable victories and its transformation into one of the world’s strongest
brands.
A warm farewell and my thanks also to all of our technical and commercial
partners, our dealers across the globe and, most particularly, the clients and
collectors whose passion I so wholeheartedly share.
But my thoughts go also to our fans who have always supported us with great
enthusiasm especially through the Scuderia’s most difficult moments.
Ferrari is the most wonderful company in the world. It has been a great privilege
and honour to have been its leader. I devoted all of my enthusiasm and
commitment to it over the years. Together with my family, it was, and continues to
be, the most important thing in my life.
I wish the shareholders, particularly Piero Ferrari who has always been by my
side, and everyone in the Company the many more years of success that Ferrari
deserves.”
