    Many of us have met Gino over the years (the bearded guy always shown in the garage);
    he's from Montreal and been with the Scuderia for about 10-15 years now.
    Anyhow, he is the new VP of Corporate Affairs for Lotus.
    I'll try and post a photo later.

    Sad to see him go. Gino gave us a garage tour when we attended the Montreal Grand Prix the year before last- super nice guy, and the word was that he was always doing things like visiting the local schools to talk to kids, etc.

    Hope he has success at Lotus.

    Who remembers his reaction when Massa spun out Hammy Fuji 2008? Priceless.

    My wife & I hung out with him a few times; he introduced me to Kimi in 2007.
    Very cool guy. His original mentor at Ferrari is now the CEO of Lotus. But not the Lotus F1 group.....

    I've seen photos of Gino with Ferrari again. Is he employed with Ferrari or is he Kimi's personal assistant? They seem to get along well as beyond Kimi's first run with Ferrari, they were together at Lotus too although Gino was more a corporate guy during the failed Dany Bahar regime.

    UPDATE- just found an article that he is employed by Ferrari with the title "secretary general", not sure what that means, but I assume he's no longer in logistics as he was in the past.
