Instant View: Stellantis CEO's appointment reactions
(Reuters) -Automaker Stellantis on Wednesday named Antonio Filosa, the Italian head of its North American operations, as its CEO, effective from June 23. Filosa succeeds Carlos Tavares, who quit the group in December after sharp drops in profits and sales raised questions about his management. Milan-listed shares in Stellantis rose by as much as 1% following the news, but had erased gains to ease 0.05% by 0955 GMT. COMMENTS: ANGELO MEDA, HEAD OF EQUITIES AND PORTFOLIO MANAGER AT BANOR SIM "After all those months, they chose an internal candidate? It strikes me as almost a fallback solution... I think that explains the tepid share price reaction." INTERMONTE ANALYSTS GIANLUCA BERTUZZO AND ALBERTO VILLA: "(Filosa's) career has predominantly been in South America, where he delivered positive results. "Nevertheless, we don't consider the appointment to be one that will have a strong impact, given Tavares resigned six months ago; his experience in North America is limited and other potential candidates had superior profiles on paper." INDUSTRY MINISTER ADOLFO URSO, QUOTED BY ITALIAN NEWS AGENCY ANSA "A great choice [...that ] confirms the renewed centrality of Italy in the group's strategy." PEUGEOT FAMILY, SECOND LARGEST SHAREHOLDER "We have full confidence in his ability to engage into a new step of transformation, at the service of brands, clients and collaborators of the company. "His fine knowledge of ground realities and his intimate understanding of the industrial culture of Stellantis are assets to put Stellantis on a new operational trajectory based on excellence of products, closeness with markets and commitments of the teams." UNION REACTION SAMUELE LODI, NATIONAL SECRETARY OF THE ITALIAN FEDERATION OF METALWORKERS: "It is necessary to quickly address the problems, which without an industrial plan for Italy to relaunch research, development and production, also risks compromising the economic results needed to increase investment. "It is necessary to put workers first by increasing wages and confronting the future employment to encourage regeneration. The appointment of the new CEO also requires the reopening of a strategic discussion with the prime minister's office." CFE-CGC, UNION IN STELLANTIS FRANCE: "The new CEO will have to make sales recover, mainly in Europe and North America, and restore the brand image tarnished by quality scandals." CFDT UNION IN STELLANTIS FRANCE: "The CFDT Stellantis greets with satisfaction the nomination of a new CEO for the company. The end of this transition period was eagerly expected. It was urgent to put an end to it." "The CFDT is expecting a lot from this new CEO: a clear strategic plan adapted to the specificity of the different world markets while ensuing a fair transition, a new impetus in the social policy putting the human and the workers at the heart of priorities (...) A balanced sharing of businesses on the different geographical regions, not putting France and Europe back in a secondary position."

After the slow and twisty Monaco circuit, F1 is back to full speed at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

The circuit is under contract with F1 for another year but its long-term future is uncertain because a new track in Madrid joins the calendar next year. Max Verstappen has won the Spanish Grand Prix for Red Bull the last three seasons. What happened in the last race? Lando Norris won the Monaco Grand Prix for his first victory since the season-opening race in Australia in March and closed in on his teammate and standings leader Oscar Piastri. Norris won from Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, with Piastri third and defending champion Max Verstappen fourth. Piastri's lead is three points ahead of Norris and 25 ahead of Verstappen. What do I need to know about F1 so far? Get caught up: — Lando Norris takes a 'dream' Monaco win to reduce Oscar Piastri's F1 standings lead — Frustration and slow driving at Monaco GP as F1 rule change backfires — Red Bull driver Max Verstappen wins F1's Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix to end Piastri's streak — Meet the Madring: New Formula 1 circuit in Madrid gets a name Key stats 170 — If Lando Norris or Oscar Piastri qualify on pole position Friday, it would be McLaren's 170th pole. Only Ferrari has more, with 253. 28 — Mercedes' 28-race streak of scoring points in each Grand Prix ended with George Russell placing 11th and Kimi Antonelli 18th in Monaco. 9 — For only the third time in his career, two-time champion Fernando Alonso of Aston Martin heads into the ninth race of a season without a point. It also happened in 2015 and in his 2001 rookie season. What they're saying 'A good weekend for me (in Monaco), not just in terms of results but personally, to kind of give myself that momentum, that boost. (It) definitely makes me feel better going into Barcelona next week.' — Lando Norris. ___ AP auto racing:
