New Ferrari Team Principal Marco Mattiacci has promised that he will do what ever it takes to get Ferrari back to the top of Formula 1.

Speaking to Autosport on Friday, Mattiacci seemed confident that he will be able to get Ferrari back to winning ways even if it mean going on a massive recruitment drive.

“I will discuss things with the chairman [Luca di Montezemolo], and clearly what is needed we will do,” he said. “Even going to the market. But with a clear idea that it is not just for the sake of shopping.”

“It is only if we find someone that will bring extremely added value to a team that according to all of us is one of the highest level teams in F1. That is the philosophy. What is needed will be done.”

Mattiacci feels that his lack of experience is not a bad thing for Ferrari. He believes that he can bring a fresh approach to the team rather than someone with knowledge of the sport. He is under no illusions of the monumental task he faces and he is very eager to prove that he has what it takes to lead the most successful team in Formula 1.

All eyes are on Mattiacci now with the team and Tifosi all looking to him. He has a huge responsibility on his shoulders and he has been thrown right into the deep end. Only time will tell if the Ferrari President, Luca Di Montezemolo made the right choice.
