Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur reacted humorously to Mattia Binotto's comment on Lewis Hamilton's switch to the Italian team. Responding to the Swiss-Italian team principal's desire to acquire the seven-time world champion, Vasseur cast doubt on the latter's desire to join a backmarker team like Kick Sauber.
Hamilton parted ways with Mercedes after 11 successful years to fulfill his childhood dream of driving for Ferrari. He will join the Italian outfit from the 2025 season on a multi-year deal. The announcement, made in February this year, shook the F1 fraternity and drew a variety of responses from fans, pundits, and notable engineers.
Ferrari's ex-team principal Binotto told Corriere della Sera that he would have also liked to sign Lewis Hamilton if given a chance.
