So, did Rosberg "make a mistake" or was it something else?

There's a lot of conspiracy theories surrounding that...although I do believe that team orders were involved in that, I don't want to...

Montezemolo quits. Marchionne blames lack of F1 titles. A new era begins.

Ferrari's future performance will be interesting, there was a picture posted on Jalopnik yesterday when Marchionne's claims were publicized of Montezemolo sitting on the pit wall between Enzo and Lauda, say what you will but he was a Ferrari man through and through and supposedly spent some time behind the wheel in Fiat's and Lancia's.

Unless they start producing cars under $50k as a consumer car business they'll continue to be as irrelevant as ever to my personal life.

It's a shame Fiat couldn't wait until the end of the season to announce the change. It's not going to make much difference. This season was over before it began with Mercedes unique, innovative ERS. Barring power unit issues, the manufacturer's championship is already decided.

I'll miss Montezemolo, he was responsible for so many great road and race cars over decades.

Now we can all speculate about Kimi's fading F1 career, his replacement and Fernando's future direction.

@torqdork

It doesn't seem like Marchionne kicked him to the curb mid-season it felt like he had all intentions to let Montezemolo see the season to it's conclusion, I think Montezemolo reacted to the publication of his statements, not wanting to put up with Marchionne anymore and save public face, more of a pride move slash eff-you rather than a corporate decision. But what the hell do I know.
