F1, Elkann: ‘Ferrari? Drivers should focus on driving and talk less.’

Rome, 10 November (LaPresse) – “We won the endurance championship in Bahrain, it was an extraordinary feeling to win both as constructors and as drivers. It’s a wonderful demonstration of the fact that when Ferrari is united, when everyone is together, great things can be achieved. Brazil was a big disappointment, and if we look at the Formula 1 championship, we can say that on the one hand we have our mechanics who are effectively winning the championship with their performance in pole position and pit stops, and if we look at our engineers, there is no doubt that the car has improved. If we look at the rest, it is not up to standard.” So said Stellantis Chairman John Elkann on the sidelines of the official presentation of the partnership between the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics Committee and Stellantis’ Italian brands. ‘We certainly have drivers who need to focus on driving and talk less. We still have important races ahead of us, and it’s not impossible to finish second. And the most important invitation comes from Bahrain, where when Ferrari is a team, we win,’ he concluded.
