"I don't understand the target. Perhaps it's to give s*** to the team, but in this case I don't see the point. Perhaps it's for them the only way to exist. This is probably more the reason. But it's really hurting the team." At the time, Ferrari also reacted to the rumours to
GPblog. 'It's not even worth responding to'
was the message by the Scuderia. 'Duration of the deal not known'
