That's what Luca's trying to do at the moment, all italian tifosi supports him 100%. and they really don't care about what other "tifosi" thinks.

Ferrari's 2000-2004 success would never have happened with Di Montezemolo's current approach. But hey, if he would rather lose with Italians at the helm rather than win without them, he's going to be throwing a lot more TV sets out the window. And I will laugh.
I'm sure all the fans will be really proud when Luca takes them back to the pre-Todt glory days of 1992.

Nothing is wrong if Luca honestly thinks he is hiring the best available people in the business.

However, if he is knowingly not hiring the best available people because of their nationality, then that is discrimination.

But that's ok, because other teams will happily snap up the talent that Ferrari is rejecting.

This is a global world now, not regional, and F1 is a global sport. Hire the best people for the job, even if they come from Zimbabwe. If the best staff happen to be Italian, bonus. If not, who cares as long as they get the job done.
