F1: Montezemolo, arrow to Vettel and Ferrari

The former president of Ferrari Luca Cordero di Montezemolo in an interview with Radio Rai Gr Parlamento praises Lewis Hamilton, world champion for the sixth time, and does not spare edged with Ferrari: "I would have liked to work with Hamilton, a driver I put among the very great of Formula 1 with Michael, Fangio, Senna, Lauda, ​​Clark, Stewart. He won six world championships and often before the last race … he won the first time only at the last corner beating Massa who had crossed the finish line as champion ".

"I think the Hamilton World Championship pleases a friend like Niki Lauda who I miss so much. Hamilton is great for at least three reasons: he always behaves correctly, is very fast and can adapt to the car and to different situations, he happened to win even when driving a lower car ".

The jab to Vettel: "This year I believe that even with Hamilton in Ferrari the situation would not have changed. Last year though … maybe Ferrari would have won the championship with him. "

Montezemolo comments on the situation in Ferrari: "The thing that I regret most is that Ferrari is already out of the three-game, four-race games from the end of the season. In my day we often lost in the last race when we didn't win. Here I hope that Ferrari will soon be able to fight again until the last meter for the championship. The fans deserve it ".

The internal duel between Vettel and Leclerc: "Having to choose between Vettel and Leclerc is quite a dilemma. I always wanted a rider to the title in the team and the other to score points for the Constructors' championship and take away points from his rivals. It was so with Irvine, Barrichello and Massa. Not forgetting that Eddie and Felipe were in the running for the title until the last race and that Rubens for example won a very important race in Germany in the year of Michael's first title ".

"In the last races Vettel seems to have returned to excellent levels. Leclerc is certainly good, but it should be grown slowly. He learned not to talk too much on the radio, for example. Sure in Austin Ferrari was a bit disappointed, it has never been in the game and it lost a lot even in a straight line ".
