It's a fact though. In the last 30 years Ferrari only had success when it was run by non-Italians (because di Montezemolo approved the right people without looking at their passports). I have high regard for Italian items - Sergio Leone's westerns, Dorothea Wierer and Fiat Punto was my first car (since Italy makes much better cars than France for instance) BUT Ferrari's current management isn't one of themcaneparo wrote: ↑3 years agoYou wish it was from your country.

However Red Bull will never let Verstappen go (duh) so we can only speculate who's the faster driver. Hamilton had some great drives when McLaren was not a title challenging car, his two wins at Hungaroring in 2012 & 2013 are the example.
It's not Hamilton's fault Ferrari can't get out of it's own way when being run by Italians and Red Bull is only an engine customer in the engine-first era which puts them at a proverbial disadvantage.
