Thursday, October 26th: Today it was announced that two of Michael's long-time colleagues will also be leaving the Scuderia Ferrari: Ross Brawn and Paolo Martinelli. So of course the record-holding Champion sends them his best wishes: "Thanks to and with Ross I was able to celebrate all my success in Formula One, so of course I want to thank him for that," Michael said about his technical director. "Due to his strong personality and his natural authority he was always very important for the team. He prepared the boys for everything, he showed them the direction in which it all was going. Ross will always be a special person for me." But also Paolo Martinelli was a very important man for Michael. "During the last six years of my career I had just two engine failures - that says basically everything about Paolos work, and I would like to stress the fact that we did not lose the Championship due to the engine failing at Suzuka. Quite the opposite: the reliability of the Ferrari engines was the basis of our success in recent years. I admire Paolo as a human being and wish him all the best for his further career." Brawn will take some family time while Martinelli will join Fiat.
