In an interview with ''[[Oggi (magazine)|Oggi]]'', Agnelli's grandson [[Lapo Elkann]] said: "He saved the [[Prancing Horse]], preventing it from being sold to the Americans. Then he chose the right people: [former Ferrari chairman] [[Luca di Montezemolo]] and [[Jean Todt]]. He loved Ferrari cars and he loved all the beautiful things in life. It's not enough to be rich to appreciate beauty. Taste cannot be bought."<ref name="Cooper 2023">{{cite web|last=Cooper|first=Sam|date=22 January 2023|url=https://www.planetf1.com/news/lapo-elkann-ferrari-favourite-f1-drivers/|title=Lapo Elkann reveals legendary Ferrari figurehead's favourite ever F1 drivers|website=PlanetF1|access-date=23 February 2023}}</ref> About Agnelli's favoured Formula One drivers, Elkann said: "His favourite driver was the one who won. I think that's why he loved Michael Schumacher. Then he liked [[Gilles Villeneuve]], his way of driving. And [[Ayrton Senna]], who, had he not died so tragically, would have come to Ferrari the following year. He loved talent and courage and also recognised them in his opponents. He was a true sportsman."<ref name="Cooper 2023"/>
