Damon Hill, 1996 world champion, spoke in less than flattering terms about the Redhead’s 2023 season.
“I think he is stuck at Ferrari,” said the former driver.
“To be team principal, you have to be well-versed in discussions about money, strategies and marketing in Formula 1.”
“Sometimes I think he is not having fun. I think you have to love what you do, otherwise it’s a struggle.”
“It was an almost identical maneuver to what Hamilton did on Verstappen at the start of the GP, but Lewis outmaneuvered her.”
“They have not been able to capitalize over the course of the season and therefore, in my opinion, they will have less difficulty next year than Mercedes.”
The 1996 world champion spoke about the recent divorce between his former rival Michael’s son and Haas.
“This is not the first time this has happened and it mirrors their season,” said the former pilot.
Ferrari’s longtime technical director passed away at age 87. Montezemolo also remembered him
“She shot herself in the foot,” said the 1996 world champion with Williams.
The Ferrari driver, who is aiming to put the disappointing Italian Grand Prix finish behind him, was described as “anxious” by Damon Hill.
“As pure pace, Charles is superior. But to challenge Verstappen, you should not think about hurting someone’s sensibilities.”
“The car is really fast and the potential is huge, there are all the ingredients to be successful.”
“Let’s say Leclerc loses his front wing or Max Verstappen punctures or something like that.”
