Well I am not surprised.
I read the first couple of pages and I think we all knew the power Micheal had at FERRARI and I am sure Montezemolo felt threatened of the power he had OR he might have thought he might loose control.
In any case I do think that was a cowardly thing to do by releasing a press statement before Micheal even finished his cool down lap as to the fate of his future, I think that should have been his (M.S) right to announce it to the press\public first.
But I always thought of Montezemolo as a sneaky,coward, ass licking bastard anyway and I think he just proved it in this case.
In my heart HE (Montezemolo) should have been the one to leave the team.
This is just my opinion.

Well just got a chance to read the full article and I was right. Montezemolo didn't like the POWER of dynamic trio ROSS BRAWN\JEAN TODT\MICHEAL SHUMACHER and really Shumacher's future was decided in 2005 and was squeezed out of FERRARI all because Montezemolo wanted to regain his control.
Like I said WHAT A BASTARD!!!!
I will now predict FERRARI'S fate for 2007 and that is don't expect much in fact I am sure you will see them mid grid again maybe even lower.I hope that I am 100% wrong with this but I think this is a HUGE pimple ready to POP and I am referring to the relation between Todt and Montezemolo.
I'm FREAKING already and winter testing has just started...OMG!!!! HELP!!!!!!
Only time will tell.
