Both Mercedes and Ferrari head into 2024 with a huge deficit to catch up to Marko's Red Bull, who dominated the 2023 season.
Hamilton Ferrari switch good for F1
Now, Marko has had his say on his rival's pursuit of one of the most successful drivers F1 has ever seen, stating that all of the drama around it is good for the sport.
“I see it as weakening Mercedes,” he said in quotes reported by The Independent.
“Whether it strengthens Ferrari remains to be seen.
“Overall, this has an incredible impact, right down to the stock market prices. It’s great that something is happening.
“That’s true [that Hamilton staying one final season with Mercedes will provide greater intrigue]. Normally, in a situation like this, your mind is already more focused on the new team.
“The current team cannot let him take part in any serious innovations because he would of course take them with him.
“The whole thing is excellent for sports, better than Netflix.”
