Interesting article.

So LdM who is Ferrari born-and-bred as opposed to Todt who is hired-by-Ferrari wants to come home from Rome back to Maranello and take over the reins.

Is LdM going to head the F1 team? Is he going to take over the roadcar business, or is he going to do more in his current official role as head of Ferrari SPA? Either way there is less space for Todt to do as he likes, and he certainly doesn't have the influence he had at the F1 team as he used to since he isn't even there anymore.

I'm sure that Flava Flavio will remove Piquet's wheel nuts during stops before he'll let that happen.

But with his new personal sponsor, Kleenex, at least Alonso will be well financed.

Exactly, Todt is going to find himself expendable very soon I think...

Jean Todt is the CEO for the sports car division, and dopes not have anything to do the racing team anymore. I would consider that a promotion rather than the opossite... though we don't know what Todt thinks about this.

if the Macaca - Hamilton alliance didn't beat him how is piquet going to do that in a team that does know who can and who cannot win a championship?

I know it was hard for you to accept the fact that this guy beat you idol but come on... it's time to get over it.

Michael Schumacher claimed recently in an interview that Jean Todt, in spite fo being promoted to CEO, was still controlling somehow the F1 team and giving all his support to Stefano Domenicalli. So maybe Jean isn't nearly gone.

Jean is getting old and tired and surely is planing for his retirement.
Running the whole Ferrari business and the F1 team wasn't easy and maybe he felt it was too much, so it was time to promote someone younger to the top of the F1 team a few years before he retires.

However, given how much the McLaren fans hate him for dominating the sport and for showing the world what kind of people RD and his team are, some are now trying to make it look like if he was thrown out of the F1 team.
But hey it's McL&C fans we are talking about! :p :
