Even given that, I still have trouble believing he'd have a problem if he saw where his company is today. Like I said before, they have no choice but to keep getting more sophisticated. Not when you have cars like the GT-R dancing around the Ring like its a walk in the park. Sure you can go lightweight with just a steering wheel and a gearbox like Lotus except with more power, but then you wouldn't really be catering to what Ferrari customers want, which is sophistication and a nice interior. Unfortunately our beloved ball on a stick is dead and gone.
