Ex-chefão da F1 detona Hamilton na Ferrari e minimiza hepta: ‘Teve sorte quando não havia concorrência’

O ex-chefe da Fórmula 1 Bernie Ecclestone dobrou a aposta contra o desempenho de Lewis Hamilton na Ferrari. Ele, que já havia projetado que o britânico “não duraria duas temporadas” na escuderia italiana, afirmou que o heptacampeão “nunca mais” ganhará o Mundial de Pilotos. Em entrevista à SkySports, depois do Grande Prêmio da Áustria, o empresário minimizou o histórico vencedor de Hamilton.

— Ele ganhará outro título? Não — disse ele à SkySports. — Acho que ele teve sorte de estar lá quando… primeiro, não havia tanta concorrência, então foi um pouco mais fácil. E agora ele tem concorrentes que, quando ele ganhava tudo, não tinham muitos no topo.

Ecclestone ponderou que não torce pelo insucesso do piloto, campeão mundial em 2008, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019 e 2020.

— Espero, quero dizer, que ele ainda consiga fazer o trabalho. Mas, que ele possa ganhar o campeonato mundial onde está, é uma história completamente diferente — concluiu.

O heptacampeão da F1 vive seu mais desafiador início de temporada em 2025. Ele, que deixou a Mercedes para o novo desafio na Ferrari, não subiu ao pódio nos primeiros 11 GPs do ano pela primeira vez desde a sua estreia na elite do automobilismo, em 2007. A próxima corrida ocorre “em casa”, em Silverstone, onde só Hamilton soma nove vitórias na carreira.

Hamilton está em sexto lugar no Mundial de Pilotos, com 91 pontos, superado inclusive pelo colega de equipe, o monegasco Charles Leclerc. Antes do anúncio da milionária parceria entre o britânico e a escuderia italiana, Ecclestone questionou a animação dos fãs e disse que Hamilton não teria na Itália tanta atenção quanto tinha na Mercedes, até pela grande identificação de Leclerc com a equipe. O ex-chefão projetou que o multicampeão poderia “ter vários inimigos porque chegou de repente”.

Apesar das críticas, Lewis Hamilton elogiou sua equipe Ferrari no domingo pelo “megaprogresso” que fizeram no Grande Prêmio da Áustria, onde terminou em quarto, atrás de Charles Leclerc.

— Obrigado a todos da fábrica pelas melhorias neste fim de semana, que pareciam pequenas no papel, mas foram enormes para nós em termos de desempenho. Não estamos um minuto atrás da McLaren e isso é positivo, e estou feliz com isso, mesmo que ainda esteja com dificuldades para equilibrar o carro na corrida — disse ele. — Estávamos muito mais calmos e metódicos também, então estou orgulhoso deles por isso.

O sucesso da Ferrari atrás das duas McLarens, do vencedor da corrida Lando Norris e do líder do campeonato Oscar Piastri, permitiu que ultrapassassem a Mercedes na disputa pelo título de construtores e subissem para a segunda posição.
