F1 | Federica Masolin: “Raikkonen and Vettel are positive, I hope there is a battle this year”

We saw the tests last week and in this one, still ongoing, one Ferrari which really seems to be competitive. Can we really hope for something positive this year, which marks 10 years without a world title for Ferrari, or will we still experience another season of suffering? To answer this question Federica Masolin, after the official presentation of the 2017 season of Sky Sport F1 and MotoGP: “I always rely on the sensations and above all on the emotions of the riders. I saw both Kimi Raikkonen that Sebastian Hag very positive, even if they didn't go too far because it's always difficult to do so. But from what they told us the car feels good, they worked well, even with the tires and the different compounds. My hope for Formula 1 in general is that there will be a battle.".

Bottas, what responsibility for him to replace the world champion? “I was in England at the presentation of Mercedes and I saw him calm, he was honored to take up the legacy of the world champion. This showed a great humility in him. He will be supported by a team that knows how to win. I don't know how easy it will be for him to handle Hamilton's psychological pressure. This will perhaps be his greatest achievement." he continued to the microphones of F1GrandPrix.
