Ex-Ferrari boss "disugsted" by Tifosi boo's for Hamilton

Former Ferrari boss Luca di Montezemolo has added to the growing list of those affiliated with Ferrari who criticised the boo's the Tifosi showered Mercedes and Lewis Hamiton with at the Italian Grand Prix. The ex-Ferrari man said he was "disgusted" by the scenes on Sunday beneath the podium.

Hamilton seemingly stole another race out of the clutches of Ferrari on home soil, going into battle with Sebastian Vettel on lap one and winning whilst the German was sent for a spin and down the order and then later with a brilliant race against Kimi Raikkonen.

His victory meant he equalled Michael Schumacher's record of five wins at the famous venue, of course, Schumacher had the full backing of the Tifosi whilst he was enjoying those successes.

“What happened was very, very bad and I am really upset,” Di Montezemolo told the BBC. “Lewis is a fantastic champion, had always been very correct, and he made a fantastic race. Full stop.”

“I can tell you we won a few championships (this way) when I was the chairman and CEO – with Kimi and Felipe Massa, with Rubens Barrichello and Michael Schumacher, and Michael and Eddie Irvine,” he added.

Ferrari now faces an uphill battle to get Vettel back in the lead of the championship now being 30 points behind his title rival. Ferrari may take solace in that they do appear to have the faster car and circuits that are upcoming should suit their car more, but Vettel cannot afford to make another mistake in this title battle.
