In an interview with RacingNews365, former Formula 1 driver Martin Donnelly said Lewis Hamilton’s move would deliver excellent commercial and sporting results for Ferrari.
Martin Donnelly: “This is a great move for Ferrari in sport and business! Few people realize how much money paraphernalia makes them: they stand to receive more than a billion pounds from the sale of souvenirs. And from a sporting point of view, we are in for an interesting battle between Hamilton and Leclerc. Charles won’t just give anything away, but it’s good for the sport, good for the tifosi, who have someone to cheer for.
Mercedes have not been able to solve their problems for several years, we saw that in Brazil, which affects Lewis’ motivation. And the move to Ferrari will give him strength. It’s good for the sport. I don’t think Leclerc will be easy to beat. He is fast, I would say on a good day he is as fast as Lewis. “I hope Ferrari can win the constructors’ championship because of this.”
