“Fighting for third not good enough for Ferrari” – Flavio Briatore. Flavio Briatore shares his thoughts on Ferrari.

Italian businessman Flavio Briatore shares his thoughts on the current season of Formula 1 and the prospects of Scuderia Ferrari.

Firstly, former Renault manager Flavio Briatore expressed his opinion on the exciting duel between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen: “After years of battle between the Mercedes drivers, this year there will be competition. The Dutchman has a performing car, the aerodynamics of the Red Bull is superior to that of the Mercedes. Max is a spectacular driver, a top driver. Red Bull can be a solid challenger, for us fans there is finally a duel between two different teams”. – he explained.

At the microphones of Radio Rai, Flavio Briatore was inevitably asked about Scuderia Ferrari’s prospects for the 2021 Formula 1 season: “Ferrari has just started the championship and they are already talking about next year… Ferrari should always be there at the top, but they are fighting for third place and even this target is difficult to reach, despite the fact they can rely on two great drivers such as Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz. There is no competition in the short term. The car has improved compared to last year, we will see next season with the new regulations, but racing for third-fourth place is not good enough for the Ferrari brand.” – Flavio Briatore concluded.
