Luca di Montezemolo says that if he was still Ferrari president, he would re-sign Sebastian Vettel for 2021.
The 72-year-old's successors at Maranello have reportedly offered Vettel a new deal, but the one-year offer with a big pay-cut has been described by insiders as a "joke".
When asked by Leo Turrini if he would give the quadruple world champion a new deal, former Ferrari president Montezemolo answered: "Yes.
"Seb is still very fast, he has a lot of experience and I don't think he is in a crisis of motivation. In addition, his presence would also be useful to Leclerc, who is very talented but must confirm himself at the top after a splendid season and therefore will have a lot more pressure on him."
Montezemolo was also asked about Formula 1's unprecedented crisis amid the corona pandemic, and thinks that even with a shorter and condensed calendar a "worthy champion" can still be crowned in 2020.
"It would be a season destined to go down in history for its uniqueness," he said.
"I hope it will be possible to restart, but it's the same for our Serie A - only with guaranteed safety and behind closed doors, because this will be the spectacle of sport for a short time, I fear," Montezemolo added.
