Piech was family...
Grandson of the founder. He was the family member who developed the 906 qnd 917 while in charge of Porsche racing. Porsche would have been better off being guided by "the engineer" who went on the develop the Quatro then the "designer" and Ferry probably knew that when he pulled family members from the day to day operations.

His Father Anton helped found the company.
