Former Ferrari chief insists Hamilton ‘at the end’
Former Ferrari F1 team principal Mattia Binotto believes Lewis Hamilton is now at the end of his career and would have preferred to sign him a few years earlier. Hamilton, a seven-time world champion, has not had a great start at Ferrari and is currently sixth in the drivers’ championship behind his teammate, Charles Leclerc. Despite high hopes, Hamilton has yet to score a podium finish for Ferrari and trails the championship leader by 115 points after nine rounds. Binotto is confident in Ferrari’s abilities to improve their performance this season despite the current setbacks. The 55-year-old believes Ferrari may have signed Hamilton too late in his career and hints at potential retirement rumors circulating within the racing community.
