Another former Ferrari employee will be joining the ranks of McLaren soon. Luca di Montezemolo was once the Chairperson of Ferrari and a notable part of their comeback phase in the 1990s.
Montezemolo has been appointed as a new board member of
McLaren Group Holdings Limited, which has a minority stake in McLaren’s Formula
1 team. This comes after an investment company from Abu Dhabi, CYVN Holdings, completed a full takeover in April.
The Italian becomes the ninth board member to join McLaren Group Holdings Limited, in a new effort to restructure.
