AUTOSPORT box office revealed earlier this month that Alonso and Ferrari had agreed to part at the end of 2014 following intense talks about their future together , although the team has yet to formally announce the double F1 world champion's departure.
Di Montezemolo officially left Ferrari on Monday, and in an interview with Italian television station RAI, he said Alonso needed a different environment and had grown frustrated box office at not winning any further championships during his five years with the team.
"Alonso is leaving for two reasons: box office one, because I understand that he wants to try to experience a different environment, with new motivations, and then because he is at an age when you can't wait too long before trying to win again," said di Montezemolo.
Despite acknowledging box office that Ferrari's form was a factor in Alonso's departure, di Montezemolo defended the team's recent record, suggesting that 2014 is the only season when the Scuderia has been truly uncompetitive.
"Obviously I wasn't box office much pleased with the way it has happened, but that's life and it's fair that the owners of a private company can make decisions, and now it's the start of a new, different phase," he said.
