Elkann to Ferrari shareholders: “2023 is lacking in satisfaction, but…”

The president of Ferrari highlighted the success of Le Mans

Third place just a whisker away from second in the Constructors' standings (one position lost compared to 2023) and only one victory to his credit against the four in 2022, although it should be underlined that the Ferrari in 2023 it was the only one to win except for Red Bull.

The president of Ferrari John Elkann did not hide the fact that 2023 was stingy with satisfactions for Scuderia Ferrari in F1, but that the Maranello company achieved a legendary result at Le Mans by winning the 24 hours of the Centenary in the first year which saw Ferrari return to competing in premier class, the Hypercar.

These are the words of John Elkann during the opening speech of the shareholders' meeting: “2023 was a difficult season and often lacking in satisfaction for Scuderia Ferrari. While the victory in Singapore sent an encouraging signal, like the two podiums achieved, we know that we must continue to work tirelessly. The passion of millions of fans around the world is what drives us to constantly improve. We have witnessed the achievement of an incredible milestone in Ferrari history. It was an unforgettable day, which reminded us of the importance of finding the courage and humility to always continue to improve. There are many aspects that made this electrifying victory so special. First of all, it marked the victorious return of the Maranello company to the premier class of the WEC, precisely on 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.”
