Lol... Give them something better than a go-kart and they won't have anything to complain about, you muppet

Did he even watch any race this year? There are 0 elements pointing at the drivers as the culprit, as both had their moments and managed to exploit the weekends where the car was performing a bit better.

Ah Ferrari, where champions go to die. Alonso, Vettel, now Hamilton, what is it about the red team that sucks the life out of them? I can't imagine it's much to do with their talking, Mr Elkann.

He's basically saying "I'm paying you to drive, not to complain, so shut up and win Grand Prix already!"

If your drivers since 2008 included Räikkönen, Alsono, Vettel and Hamilton, yet no one could win a WDC, you should assume the drivers aren't the issue.

Elkann said at an Olympics sponsorship event in Rome on Monday that the team's mechanics and engineers were performing well, but "if we look at the rest, it is not up to scratch".

Sounds like an unintended self-own

They need to “talk less”? Does this idiot not understand that they have press obligations. Not to mention if Hamilton did the “I’m only here so I won’t get fined” move that the FIA president would make up a new rule to punish Hamilton.

Also I doubt this nepo baby Elkann has ever achieved anything on merit. Everything he has touched turned to shit.
