Charles Leclerc’s arrival at Ferrari this year will motivate Sebastian Vettel. That is the view of famous former Formula 1 and Indy driver Alessandro Zanardi, who was asked by Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera about the arrival at the Maranello team of Monégasque youngster Charles Leclerc, after the Italian side failed to win the title in the 2018 Formula One season
“It is a very positive choice, and also useful to give Vettel a little alarm, not that he needs it,” said Alessandro Zanardi, as reported by the Italian media – “Kimi Raikkonen is still a great champion, but a changes was indeed needed. Charles Leclerc’s talent is great, but I hope Sebastian remains the leader of the team, because in recent times Ferrari’s problem was not the drivers. The team has a great line-up, but now we need to improve the car and beat Hamilton, who never makes mistakes,” Zanardi admitted..
The Italian professional racing driver who lost his legs in a 2001 Indycar crash, also took a moment to wish Robert Kubica well as the Pole prepares for his return to Formula 1 in 2019: “Just like me, he has limitations that prevent him from doing everything he did before. It’s called disability, but it’s rather relative,” the Italian said – “There is no man who can fly, but we scratched our heads and now it is normal to take a plane,” Alessandro Zanardi concluded.
