I also heard that Ferrari will retire from F1 & car manufacture and focus exclusively on theme parks and branded caps...

I hear that Norby The Hutt was in the running but he failed the language-test, Montezuma has a pronounced Torino accent,
why The Hutt's google translate/Marlon Brando Italian didn't take him very far, but Flav's Verzuolo rap worked like a charm.
