A movie was made about the life and career of Luca di Montezemelo

      A documentary about the life and career of former Ferrari president Luca di Montezemelo will be released this year. The film is being produced by Manish Pandey, well known in Formula 1, who has made films on the lives of Ayrton Senna and Bernie Ecclestone. Manish Pandey: "The idea was born in 2020 when I was interviewing Ecclestone for my movie. All of a sudden I got a call from Montezemolo saying he didn't have any memoirs and asked me if I wanted to make a movie about him. I agreed, but it wasn't easy to film - when you go out with Luca, you are immediately surrounded by fans. It's like walking next to Paul Newman." For the film, Pandey used historical film footage from those years, assisted by Edoardo Stella, son of McLaren team principal Andrea Stella, who was one of the editors who went through the old archives. Manish Pandey: "You can see from the pictures how close the relationship between Montezemolo and Niki Lauda was. It's amazing. Imagine Lewis Hamilton and his race engineer Bono going out to eat and drink together after a race and then staying in the same hotel. That just struck me. "Pandey emphasizes that scenes from di Montezemolo's second era at Ferrari, linked to Michael Schumacher's successes, are just as emotional. "The bottom line is that this movie is about loyalty."
