F1 fans reacted to Ferrari team boss Fred Vasseur taking a jibe at the team's former team boss Mattia Binotto over a disagreement regarding signing Lewis Hamilton. The seven-time world champion will soon move to Ferrari after the year ends.
When the news of Hamilton moving to Ferrari broke at the start of 2024, the entire F1 space and motorsport industry in general was shocked. Ferrari has approached Lewis Hamilton in the past, but the British F1 driver was committed to writing history with Mercedes.
When former Ferrari team boss, Mattia Binotto was asked whether he would have hired Hamilton, he told Corriere della Sera:
"I wouldn't have taken him. But he did very well to go, I agree with his decision," (via formulapassion.it)
