Former Ferrari chairman Luca di Montezemolo has been appointed a
director of the McLaren Group, according to new documents.
Long-time Ferrari man di Montezemolo was responsible for building
the F1 team in the all-conquering outfit by hiring Jean Todt,
Michael Schumacher, and Ross Brawn in the 1990s, having previously
enjoyed success with the team with Niki Lauda in the 1970s. He left
Ferrari in September 2014, after tensions with FIAT CEO Sergio
Marchionne, who would replace him. According to documents posted
on Companies House in the United Kingdom, di Montezemolo was
appointed as a director of McLaren Group Holdings Limited on
Friday, 27th June. Other figures listed as current directors
include Paul Walsh, who serves as the executive chairman of the
McLaren Group, with figures such as Zak Brown employed as CEO of
McLaren Racing. As well as the joining of di Montezemolo,
Companies House also reports the resignations of three figures from
the Middle East, with the McLaren Group owned by Mumtalakat - the
Bahraini sovereign wealth fund. RacingNews365 has reached out to
McLaren with a request for comment.
