'Hamilton to win championship thanks to Ferrari'

Ferrari's President Luca di Montezemolo believes that when Lewis Hamilton will win the title this season he should thank Ferrari for its technology. The Ferrari President believes that if it wasn't for the Italian's technology McLaren wouldn't have such a performing car.

"I believe the World Motor Sport Council made a huge mistake not to punish McLaren's driver," Di Montezemolo said. The World Motor Sport Council fined McLaren 100 million dollar and removed them from the constructors' championship. The drivers kept their points though.

"When Lewis wins the championship he owes it all to Ferrari's technology that is in his car," Di Montezemolo said.
