    Maybe I missed the thread for this movie but in case not:
    The second most important man in the history of Ferrari has just made a film with a very respected auto journalist, on his time at Ferrari.
    I went to the premiere yesterday. It should have been brilliant, epic.
    I have 3 observations:
    - Luca is right in his insinuation that Ferrari have forgotten him, and yet he is the man who made modern Ferrari, both track and road. 10 years ago when I started on Fchat it was all about Luca here
    - I have no idea how such a good journalist and such a brilliant (if divisive) ex CEO can make such a dreadful film. It’s self promoting vanity film at its worst, with no real insight, no outside perspective (even from Harris), the most superficial sweep through F1 (with some nice archive from the 70s and 80s), absolutely no perspective on the road cars at all, and way too much filler of them drinking wine with a view and soft focus on horses and bees and whatever on Luca’s ranch
    - Luca’s era at Ferrari deserves much better than this and maybe someone will tell the real story and Luca will speak to them, along with others involved in the journey. Some might say he betrayed Ferrari but like Wiedeking at Porsche, I think he allowed it to survive and thrive. F1 successes aside over the decade, he inherited Testarossa, 348, 412 and left with LaFerrari, F12, 458, FF. Most of us could not have done that.

    Luca, if you are reading this - quality leadership deserves quality storytelling and examination. Don’t be frightened of it. And Chris….
