Arturo Merzario expects a great Lewis Hamilton

Among the protagonists of the very successful Historic Minardi Day staged in Imola over the weekend also Arturo Merzario and Sportal.it did not miss the’opportunity to talk to the’stainless driver from Como, who in Imola has once again put his foot on the’accelerator.

Impossible not to ask the’ex-Ferrarista about Lewis Hamilton, who next year will be behind the wheel of a Maranello Red: "Surely he will have his say, in the sense that Ferrari nowadays is not è so much of a wreck as many want to make believe".

"Ferrari certainly does not è Red Bull, but it è immediately behind, so in my opinion it lacks overall leadership, which does not mean just the driver. But I am sure that Lewis’s arrival will give new life to the team, the Englishman will be able to cement it around his figure, as Michael Schumacher" did in his time.

"Since there's been motorsport, the ambition of anyone, whether a mechanic, engineer or driver è to race for Ferrari. That is why I was surprised, but relatively, by the choice of Hamilton. One who certainly doesn&#39t feel like a retiree already…" Merzario concludes.
