This is the biggest new of the 2014 era so far, and a major coup for Ferrari. Even if it's just gives the current design team a bit of a feel good factor.

At 70 years old I'm not sure how much of an impact he can have, but it certainly be interesting.

I didn't realise that Ferrari called him to help turn around the 2012 car.

Well that's a bit stupid as it's clearly a motorsport topic. Doh
