On the topic of Enzo Ferrari’s amazing legacy, which indelibly marked the 20th century, his son Piero Ferrari discussed in a comprehensive interview for the Italian daily newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“I would say he left a profound mark even on those who couldn’t meet him and are working in Maranello today,” said Piero Ferrari. “President John Elkann and CEO Benedetto Vigna always think of him, of what he achieved, and his forward-looking vision. After so many years, my father’s ideas have become the company’s DNA.” – the Italian businessman and sport personality explained.
Would Enzo Ferrari have liked the duo of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz? To this question, son Piero Ferrari responded: “Certainly, yes, because they are both young and very professional, dedicating a lot to their work. This was a quality that my father liked a lot. He didn’t appreciate those drivers who refused to participate in testing and only showed up for races to compete. Today, testing is no longer the same, but Charles and Carlos practice on the simulator almost every week, helping the team.” concluded the second and only living son of Enzo Ferrari in his interview for the Italian media.
