Piero Lardi Ferrari thinks his father Enzo would have approved Sergio Marchionne.
"I think so, yes," he replied when Italy's La Gazzetta dello Sport asked if the two would have gone along well.
"(Marchionne) is a hard worker. He can identity problems and solve them quickly. The more I get to know him, the more I like," added Lardi Ferrari.
Enzo's son also seems to approve the shake up at Maranello, which reminds him of the 1961 season.
"I think the changes going on right now are good," he says. "Formula One is in constant evolution, so you have to keep up.
"I've seen this kind of shake up before. I remember at the end of 1961, seven people lost their job. That's when Mauro Forghieri arrived."
And under his leadership, the Scuderia won four titles with John Surtees (1964), Niki Lauda (1975 and 1977) and Jody Scheckter (1979).
