Niki Lauda has vented his feelings about Ferrari and McLaren for designing “s**t cars,” that are not able to challenge his teams, Mercedes W05.
With six 1-2’s, and nine victories from the first ten races, it has been anything but perfect for the Mercedes team in 2014.
Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo has complained about the currents rules and the general state of play of F1, but although McLaren have not said anything similar to the Italia, Lauda still had a go at them.
“McLaren have the same engine as us and the car is s**t,” he told El Pais.
“Where are they? Nowhere.
“Watch the Ferrari: another f***ing car.
“Next year will be difference because they can change half the engine.
“You cannot penalise Brixworth because others are stupid.”
Asked only about the situation at Ferrari, Lauda said: “Montezemolo is trying everything and decided to bring in Mattiacci. But nobody believes that things will change overnight.
“He tried to convince Newey to join but could not.
“Alonso is very frustrated because for years he is driving a car that does not work.
“Right now he cannot go to McLaren because he has a contract. If you have a contract with Ferrari you cannot leave unless they allow you.”
