Domenicali: F1 'not the priority' for Lamborghini

Italy - Former Ferrari Formula 1 boss Stefano Domenicali says Lamborghini will not be entering F1 any time soon.

After losing his role as Ferrari team boss in 2014, he was subsequently snapped up by VW-owned Audi and subsequently made CEO of Audi-owned Lamborghini.

But as for the Italian supercar maker entering F1, Domenicali has now told Autosprint: "I have to say this is not the priority today, because we have other priorities above this.

"We also have a system that is working really well in racing, and credit for that goes to all of the people who have chosen the sports programme very well.

"However, you cannot think of a brand like Lamborghini without motorsport," Domenicali added.

Enjoying the new focus

Domenicali, 51, worked at Ferrari for over 20 years but he says he has no regrets about the progression of his career.

"If I look at my experience in F1, for me it was an extraordinary period that I carry inside me that is absolutely unforgettable," he told the Italian magazine.

"I never fail to thank those who trusted me in the past. But this is part of my life now. Today, we are focused on a new challenge that I have to say is just as inspiring and beautiful, but in a different dimension," said Domenicali.
