Ferrari president John Elkann recently took center stage to address all the shareholders. He discussed the F1 team’s disappointment in 2023 but used it only as an example to highlight the upward trajectory they’re on currently. He then also discussed the momentous 2023 Singapore GP win and the 1-2 in Australia earlier this season. Elkann then made it clear that it should be Scuderia Ferrari’s aim to work tirelessly to make these rare wins a common occurrence.
During the shareholders’ meeting, he explained how the fans can help the team achieve the same. As quoted by Gazzetta, Elkann said, “The passion of millions of fans around the world is what spurs us to constantly improve”.
After thanking the Tifosi for their continued support, Elkann also celebrated Ferrari’s recent historic win in Le Mans. The Italian outfit returned to the prestigious endurance racing series in the hypercar category with an emphatic victory.
“First of all, it marked the victorious return of the Maranello company to the premier class of the WEC, precisely in the centenary of this legendary race. The victory highlighted Ferrari’s unique approach and saw the entire company working as a team to contribute to the success of the hypercar,” he added.
Ferrari will now hope to take inspiration from all their recent successes to carry on improving for further glory in the coming times. The signing of Lewis Hamilton can help them achieve the same.
