The Gestione Sportiva’s Christmas lunch was also the moment to make a presentation to someone who has been part of the Scuderia for the past fifteen years, Gilles Simon. The French engineer held the position of head of Engine Design from 1994 to 2006, after which he was in charge of the whole Engine Department. This period saw the Maranello V10 and V8 engines win six Drivers’ titles and eight Constructors’, along with 106 Formula 1 Grand Prix victories. “I wish to thank this engineer for all he has done, winning so much with us, a man of class and a good person,” said Montezemolo as he presented Simon with an example of the 056 engine which took the Constructors’ title in the F2008.”
