F1 expert sure:
Hamilton? “Ferrari made the wrong decision”
Carlos Sainz will have to give up his Ferrari cockpit to Lewis Hamilton after the current Formula 1 season. Formula 1 expert Marc Surer believes that the Scuderia made the wrong decision in opting for the 39-year-old Briton.
Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton will leave the Mercedes works team at the end of this season and drive for Ferrari from next year. His teammate will be Charles Leclerc from Monaco.
"If Hamilton comes, that is certainly a very positive story at first. But in the long term, it's the wrong decision. Because Lewis Hamilton is getting old," says Surer in an interview with "Formel1.de".
"The pure speed is lost"
"You don't get faster with age," explains the former racing driver and now TV commentator. "You become more experienced, you might have more tricks in the race. But the pure speed is lost. Even if it's just hundredths of a second per year." Surer is convinced "that Hamilton is no longer as fast as he used to be".
