Luca di Montezemolo has now stepped away from hinting that Ferrari could field a works prototype in next year's famous 24 hours Le Mans race.
At the height of the Formula One Teams' Association power struggle with the FIA, the Ferrari President officially started June's fabled Le Mans event and hinted that sports car racing is a real alternative to Formula One for the Italian marque.
But with the battle now receding, Montezemolo has explained that Le Mans would be a difficult project to spearhead alongside Ferrari's ongoing F1 foray.
"To race at Le Mans you have to concentrate for many, many months to prepare, to test and develop a car, and I think this today is quite impossible to do at the same time as racing at the maximum level in F1," he said.

Then run an LMP2 entry like Porsche do. For christ sake Luca, Le Mans was Enzo's race he wanted to win more than anything. Ferrari have the resources to do a full blown LMP1 assault so an LMP2 entry would be cheap compared to the £200 million they spend on F1. Besides, LMP2 is so boring cause Porsche just win and because Acura didn't enter this year it was an easy win for them. Ferrari should re-spark the old battle.
