Is this a translation , or is this exactly as it was said ?

If he said exactly this , it is a curious choice of words .

"chosen to entrust me." sounds like Luca has just chastized Jean and said that he had betrayed Ferrari .
He calls him , a distancing term in "the president" .
The first line says he will fulfill his obligations , with "naturally" , reinforcing his loyalty , both sounding rather defensive .

Sounds to me like Luca blew his stack , and Todt had had enough .
I have no proof but a feeling about this one .

I was just making a joke out of one phrase, that came directly from the first link Jannepi posted!

"My commitment to the President had been to manage the company until the end of his mandate as President of Confindustria and to indicate the new director of the Sports Management," said Todt.

"Having accomplished these tasks, a new phase of my life has now begun in which I will have more time to dedicate to myself and my other interests.

"Naturally I will continue to make a contribution to Ferrari in my institutional positions and in those which the President has chosen to entrust me."

Ferrari said in a statement that it "thanks Jean Todt for the extraordinary human and professional contribution he has made over the last fifteen years of sporting success and great growth for the company of the Prancing Horse."

Not ruling out your opinion though!!!!
