Former Scuderia Ferrari driver Felipe Massa believes that the Italian side should stick with current drivers Charles Leclerc and Sebastian Vettel beyond the 2020 Formula One season. However, should Sebastian Vettel decide to leave, the Maranello-based racing stable would have to choose Daniel Ricciardo according to the Brazilian former Formula 1 driver.
“I wouldn’t change anything about this lineup if I were Mattia Binotto,” Felipe Massa said, as reported by the Italian newspaper Corriere Dello Sport. In the Italian media Feipe Massa argues that Ferrari is doing well with Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc. “Sebastian has won four world titles and Leclerc has enormous potential, which should not be underestimated. Hamilton could get in the way of Charles’ growth and possibly mentally demolish him. It could turn out wrong.” – Felipe explained.
The contract of Sebastian Vettel will continue until 2020, but possibly the German will be ahead after this season in the royal class of motor racing. Binotto will then have to look for a replacement and according to Massa the team boss will have to throw a line at Renault driver Daniel Ricciardo. “I would go for him. He’s very strong and very entertaining to see on the track.” – he concluded.
