“Does Ferrari regret Hamilton’s move?”

Ferrari is trying in every way to avoid the question, but Webber insists: was it a mistake to take Hamilton instead of Sainz?

Carlos Sainz excels at the start of 2024, and Mark Webber has not missed the chance to ask: “But Ferrari he was right to let her go to Hamilton?” The Spaniard finished third in the Japan Grand Prix. he still has the upper hand over his colleague Leclerc. Sainz, however, finds himself without a seat following the announcement ofthe arrival of Lewis Hamiltonscheduled for 2025. However, a fairly subdued Hamilton, whose best result of the season was seventh place, was found in Bahrain.

Sainz is the star of 2024

Ferrari made the long-awaited announcement in January Charles Leclerc’s contract extension, which will expire “no later than 2024”. Carlos Sainz’s update was also long awaited, but on the morning of February 1, 2024 the Formula 1 world woke up to the most unexpected news: Lewis Hamilton will race in Maranello in 2025. So it will be the last season for the Spaniard, who however did not lose heart.

Of the Leclerc-Hamilton-Sainz triptych, it is the last one who gets it best result since the beginning of the season. In fact, the Iberian driver has three podiums, including one victory. His teammate Leclerc must, between one problem and another, still beat him, while Hamilton faces what has so far been his. Worst start to the season. So everyone is wondering if Maranello made the right choice to let Sainz go.

Bad move for the Red team?

Former Red Bull Mark Webber, questioned about the Sainz-Ferrari issue, takes action. “Guardian, if you can’t motivate yourself because you don’t have a contract in your pocket, it’s a problem. So, I think his mission is to show off, to drive with a knife between his teeth and inside bright mode. Ferrari maybe he regrets it about his migration?” he announced this.

Because now it will be up to Leclerc to show that the Red team “picked the right driver”, Billy Monger, Webber’s teammate, adds: “Obviously this is what Charles will aim to do, to show that he is faster than Sainz. He can score more points than him this season. So far that has not happened, which probably no one expected. Carlos certainly has exceeded the expectations of many on his part. Whatever happens Don’t ask Fred Vasseur any questionsit is clear that he does not want to be involved in the debate”.
