Transcript

00:00 I was a bit surprised.

00:02 I guess I could have probably expected that at some point

00:07 where Lewis is.

00:08 But at the same time, like I've always said,

00:10 for somebody who's been in Formula One and so successful

00:13 and has driven a Formula One car powered by a Mercedes-Benz

00:17 engine for every lap, every bit of success he's had,

00:20 to change that over at this point in your career,

00:23 I think it's a big thing.

00:24 However, I think Fred Vasseur is obviously a born racer.

00:28 I raced with Fred like Lewis did years ago.

00:31 You know how he comes into it.

00:33 Is he the right man?

00:34 Time will tell to do it.

00:37 Do they need a stronger personality?

00:38 That's what we'll be looking back in 10 years' time

00:41 and saying, well, was that the right thing?

00:43 But Lewis has obviously been convinced.

00:45 He's obviously been given security.

00:47 He's obviously been given something that's driven him.

00:50 I think it's great news for motorsport.

00:51 I think it's great news for Formula One what's

00:53 happened to see him go in there.

00:56 And I guess it would be another step up if he goes and wins

01:00 another title at Ferrari.

01:03 That was rubber stamp already what

01:05 has been an incredible career.

01:07 But it's a big task.

01:10 He's obviously got to get on top of Charles as well, who's

01:12 obviously been part of that family a long time.

01:14 He's very much got the family around him.

01:17 But I'm excited to see it.

01:19 It could be box office.
