Ferrari Executive Chairman Joins Meta After Hamilton’s Move to the Team
Ferrari has been at the center of major developments recently, with two groundbreaking announcements shaking up the motorsport and corporate worlds. Just days after Lewis Hamilton’s high-profile move to the Italian team, Ferrari Executive Chairman John Elkann made a significant career shift by joining Meta’s board of directors.
Hamilton’s transfer to Ferrari marks the end of his remarkable 12-year stint with Mercedes. During his tenure, the British driver secured six of his seven Formula 1 World Championships and contributed to eight Constructors’ titles for the Silver Arrows. Starting in 2025, Hamilton will don Ferrari’s iconic red and look to add more victories to his legacy. Despite a challenging conclusion to his time with Mercedes, the seven-time champion remains optimistic about the possibility of achieving a record-breaking eighth title with Ferrari.
Meanwhile, Elkann, a key figure at Ferrari and the Agnelli family business empire, has expanded his professional portfolio by joining Meta’s board. Meta announced this week that Elkann, alongside Dana White and Charlie Songhurst, has been elected to its board of directors. The move highlights Elkann’s growing influence beyond the automotive sector.
Mark Zuckerberg, Meta’s Founder and CEO, welcomed the new additions, emphasizing their expertise in shaping the future of technology and innovation. “Dana, John, and Charlie bring a wealth of knowledge and insight that will help us address the vast opportunities ahead, including advancements in AI, wearables, and human connection,” Zuckerberg stated.
Elkann, in response, expressed enthusiasm about joining one of the world’s leading tech companies. “I am honored to contribute to the future of one of the most significant businesses of the 21st century. I look forward to bringing my global experience and long-term perspective to Meta as it continues to push the boundaries of innovation,” he said.
While Elkann’s new role at Meta is undoubtedly a significant step in his career, it remains uncertain what implications, if any, it will have on Ferrari’s operations. His appointment to Meta’s board underlines his versatility and ability to navigate diverse industries, further cementing his reputation as a global business leader.
With Hamilton aiming for new heights at Ferrari and Elkann expanding his horizons, this marks a transformative period for both the team and its leadership.
