Home » Fred Vasseur defends Hamilton: “Everyone says Russell is faster than him, but Lewis has more points”

Fred Vasseur defends Hamilton: “Everyone says Russell is faster than him, but Lewis has more points”. There is no interview in which Frederic Vasseur isn't asked about Lewis Hamilton.

Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari
When Lewis Hamilton and Scuderia Ferrari officially announced their decision to join forces starting from the 2025 Formula 1 season, it was February 1st, and therefore the Prancing Horse fans knew they had to wait ten months to see the English driver enter Maranello.

And as expected there is no interview in which Frederic Vasseur isn’t asked about Lewis Hamilton and his arrival in Ferrari. Although the team principal is trying to stay focused on the current Formula 1 championship, even in his conversation with Sky Italia, he expressed words of appreciation towards the British champion: “We certainly know the positive aspects of Lewis’s arrival, such as his great experience. Everyone since the beginning of the season says that George Russell is faster than him, but at the moment he is the one who has brought more points to Mercedes. So, in terms of efficiency, I believe he is a good point of reference.” – the French manager pointed out.

Charles Leclerc and the Ferrari SF-24 updates
Frederic Vasseur also talked about Charles Leclerc’s recent ups and downs: “He has had some problems in recent weekends, but I still think he is clear-headed and the fact is that sometimes we have overreacted collectively. Going back on the updates was not an easy decision, but we made it. We lost two months, but we have other solutions in preparation, and we are positive and dynamic.” – the Ferrari team principal concluded.

    LH is a good driver but what Ferrari need is a fast car…Leclerc and Sainz could be a winner team… it would be preferable to spend a huge amount of money in Newey rather than LH. Now Ferrari is not willing to spend that amount of money in Newey…bad decision, i guess. Newey could make a winning team, LH I doubt it…. AMartin made the rigth choice and made an insane offer to Newey because the breake even point will be achievable rapidly…

    Currently FERRARI 4th fastest team on the grid. Mr Japanese proverbs was to scared to pay Newey a huge salary, Aston Martin offers him the salary and guess what, FERRARI becomes 5th fastest team on the grid.
    Imagine in race, Sainz beats them in Williams in the new season, how embarrassing would that be 😊
