Former Williams racer Felipe Masaa believes that the English team with poor results is paying the price because they chose money over talent. The Brazilian, however, hopes that the team will be able to recover as soon as possible.
The season started worse than expected for the Williams team, as after the first three races they remain the only team without a point. The Brazilian, who retired at the end of last season and was replaced by Russian racer Sergey Sirotkin, believes that one of the reasons for poorer performances is also a lack of money compared to the best teams. Despite the fact that they increased their revenues last year, but to a much lesser extent than the best teams. This is supposed to force the team to choose slightly inexperienced riders instead of well-paid top riders, who brought a considerable amount of money to the team.
The Brazilian said:
“It is true that the team had certain financial problems, so they decided for the 2018 season to put money first. But that's not enough to be competitive in a sport like Formula One. ”
“What I can say is that I still have a very good relationship with the team, so I really hope they get out of this situation as soon as possible. But I'm also happy that I decided to end my career. "
Asked if his departure from the team was made at the ideal time due to the current problems, he said:
“Yes I chose the right moment and now I enjoy life. Of course, I hope they will recover successfully. ”
When asked what he thinks in the fight for the top and about the good start of the Ferrari team, he said:
“To be honest, I didn’t expect that. I expected Mercedes to be far ahead. Even Red Bull is there. This is good for the whole sport, because not just one team wins. ”
“I’m glad Ferrari started so well. Maranello has made a lot of changes in the last two seasons and many of them are behind me. ”
“By doing so, they have shown that they are a large group that knows how to work together very well. That makes me happy, because I've always been a Ferrari fan. "
