Bernie Ecclestone got into a Mercedes: Toto Wolff and Lewis Hamilton don’t play it fair – ŠPORT.sk

In July, max Verstappen had 32 points more than Lewis Hamilton, but he was unlucky in several races and has not had as fast a car as his opponent in recent weekends. The lead gradually disappeared and the event before the end of the season we experienced a unique situation; point draw 369.5: 369.5.

If we wanted to find a similar situation in the history of Formula 1, we would have to go back to 1974. At that time, there was a 52:52 draw between Emerson Fittipaldi and Clay Regazzoni before the last event, and finally Emerson Fittipaldi was looking forward to it.

“Max is a child compared to Lewis, and the worst part is that a huge publicity campaign is working for Lewis,” Bernie Ecclestone said in an interview with AFP. “Max is constantly under pressure and the race director has already dealt with the situation because Toto went to the race director himself.”

“Max can’t just race, because he has them behind him. They still intimidate him and don’t play it fair. It’s a psychological game, “ stated that the 91-year-old Briton immediately recalled that Max Verstappen had much less experience fighting at the head than Lewis Hamilton. “For Max, this is the first season in which the car is able to win regularly. It was not competitive before. “

Even if Lewis Hamilton wins the eighth title, according to Bernie Ecclestone, he will not be the best driver in history. He would only place him in the TOP 5. The best was someone completely different. “I always thought Alain Prost was the best. He was in the car alone and without any help. During the race, he had to pay attention to everything and always had a very competent opponent in the competitive team. “

Today’s racers care about fewer things and are said to be places like robots. “Everyone is getting a lot of help. In my opinion, it should be such that when the start light goes out, everyone should be on their own. And not having people in the pit lane or bases in England or Italy telling them at a distance what to do, ” added Bernie Ecclestone.
