Montezemolo is outspoken: "Vettel must stay"
- GPblog.com
The future of Sebastian Vettel is still unclear. He would not have liked the offer he would have received from Ferrari, especially because of its duration and the abandonment of his 'position' as first driver. So the rumors are keeping coming. Will Vettel leave, or will he accept the offer and stay? If it's up to Luca di Montezemolo the German stays at the Italian race stable.
Finding trust
The former Ferrari president has shared his opinion at Speedweek, where he states that Ferrari should not let the four-time champion go. "Sebastian Vettel must remain calm and find confidence in his own qualities, of which he has enough. He must be very open with the team."
"When a contract like his expires, it is always a difficult moment in a racing team. But over the last few years he's proved often enough how fast he is." The 72 year old Italian still has a lot of confidence in the German driver who can also act as a teacher of Charles Leclerc.
Montezemolo: "Vettel has to stay. He still has the speed, he also has so much experience. In a crisis he is just the right motivator. Moreover, he is also useful for the further learning process of Leclerc".
In his second year in Formula 1, young Monegask has become a potential world champion. "Charles has had a fantastic first season with Ferrari to confirm his value, so the pressure is increasing."
Still, if we read the words of Montezemolo, that should not be a reason for Vettel to leave Ferrari.
