The words of Trulli

Long interview of the Gazzetta dello Sport with Jarno Trulli, who talked about everything, starting with the title fight between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris: "There are six races to go, and they are not few, but Verstappen has a substantial advantage, thanks to the many points he accumulated at the beginning of the season. Also, Max è constant and solid. Therefore, being a two-man game, I see it difficult for Norris to snatch the title from him. Let’s say Lando will have to be perfect, always running on’attack, plus hope that the’opponent happens to some unforeseen".

Chapter Newey: "I raced 15 years in F1 and even then never liked working outside’England. When I read about rumors about Ferrari, I thought maybe he changed his mind, but in the end it didn’t happen. And then he might have received a’cheap offer that couldn’t be renounced by Stroll’s Aston Martin, with the benefit of staying home. But è just my guess".

Many are already thinking about 2025, with Hamilton at Ferrari alongside Leclerc: "First of all, Charles has the advantage of being the host at Maranello, so he knows the team and the people inside out. And then the closeness of Lewis canò be a great motivation. Because, if he can beat a seven-time world champion in the same car, he will prove that he is a World Championship driver. I, when I was racing, always hoped to have very strong teammates, so I could prove my worth even if the car was not winning".

The Englishman's arrival has divided the fans: "It can be discussed endlessly, with different opinions. Ferrari saw an opportunity to sign a great champion, an icon. While Lewis realized a dream. Then è it’s clear that there may be a question mark over the future, because’s years pass for everyone and there’s no certainty that Hamilton will still be the best Hamilton. Soì as Alonso, while still going strong, is not è the same Alonso of ten years ago. Someone will object; that maybe it was better to keep the very valid Sainz and pay less".
