MODENA Italy (Reuters) - Ferrari Chairman Luca Cordero di Montezemolo has dismissed press speculation that he could become the next chairman of ailing airline Alitalia once it is rescued by Gulf-based Etihad Airways. "For me there is only Ferrari, to which I am very committed, so this is something that does not exist," Montezemolo told journalists on the sidelines of an event on Thursday. Several Italian newspapers had reported Montezemolo was a candidate to become chairman of Alitalia. The Italian carrier last week accepted an offer by Etihad and said it would move quickly to conclude the tie-up. (Reporting by Agnieszka Flak; Editing by David Holmes)
