Flavio Briatore skeptical about Lewis Hamilton in Ferrari
In the course of an interview given to the microphones of the German newspaper "Sport Bild", Alpine executive director Flavio Briatore, among other topics, bluntly commented on Ferrari's decision to give up Carlos Sainz to hire seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton.
"It will beà very strange to see Lewis in a Ferrari. Of course I respect these decisions, but I also wonder if it makes sense. The Rossa had two top drivers like Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz. I cannot understand whyé in Maranello they decided to dismember this wonderful pair" began the former Renaut team manager.
"In principle, è it is good for all F1 that Lewis is driving Ferrari and everything that benefits the Circus makes me happy too. I am convinced that this will be good for television and for the ratings. A Hamilton triumph with the Rossa would make the sport even more intriguing, but we should not forget that Leclerc definitely has the advantage of speaking Italian within the team" added the Alpine's executive director.
"Only time will tell if Ferrari has made the right decision. It is not è my job to make judgments, but if I had been in a position of responsibilityà in the Maranello stable, I would not have hired Hamilton" Flavio Briatore" he commented.
