Felipe Massa bets on Charles Leclerc
The words of Felipe Massa
Felipe Massa points to the new Ferrari with Frederic Vasseur in the cockpit: “Everyone who has worked with him speaks well of him, he has had so much success in motorsport and has great experience in team management, but being at the helm of Ferrari is completely different, in that sense it is a big change for Fred as well. It will be important to build good relationships with all areas of the team and the top management. What plays against him is time, because the Maranello team hasn’t won the title for so many years and there is enormous pressure on them.”
“Are Leclerc and Sainz title contenders? I really like them. Ferrari’s problem is certainly not the drivers. Charles has shown he can win with the car up to the mark. Last year he paid the pressure, as did the whole team, after a start in the championship that saw him leading the standings and then losing all the advantage in a few races, for reasons already mentioned. The collaboration with Carlos is positive. They push each other, in training and on the track, and this is productive for the team,” he concluded to Gazzetta dello Sport.
