Sebastian Vettel was never a troublemaker at Ferrari, the team’s former president Luca di Montezemolo insists. Although he was ousted in 2014, 73-year-old Montezemolo’s final major act was to sign Vettel for the following season. “I didn’t like the timing and the way we split up with Seb at all,” he told RTL. “There are always changes in life, but it’s about the way they happen.”. Montezemolo said any perception that Vettel is to blame for the broken relationship is wrong. He won victories that others would not have won in a car that was not always competitive.”. He has to feel – like Michael – an environment that supports him, that defends him and above all that protects him,” said the Italian.
