Andriy Mlynariv and Benjamin Hernandez to race for Ferrari on season 29

Although from last week we knew the contract renoval of the Ukrainian, today we got the information that the Italian team and the current leader of the North American F3 were negotiating for a contract, and the signature is the only thing pending.

This morning, before the start of the Italian Grand Prix that will be celebrated at 6pm (UTC+2), Ferrari's Team Manager nicorz announced the Scuderia's two drivers for next season number 29.

In first place, Andriy Mlynariv, Ukrainian driver aged 32, that will start on P7 on today's race, will stay at least 1 more season with Ferrari, and with a renoval option for Season 30.

On second place, and as a surprise, it was confirmed that Benjamín Hernández, Spanish driver aged 36, who had to get a flight from Toronto (Canada), where he qualified 2nd for that Grand Prix's first race, to Monza to be present on the Italian team's announcement.

"After a season that, until this moment has gone well, especially on tracks with lots of straights and high-speed corners, adding that it is my first season on board as a Team Manager, the target is still achieving P7 on the Constructors Championship. I doubt we can reach anything better, as we have had a 6-race streak without any points, from Bahrain until Austria, and Mlynariv is having some bad luck, so I trust that, on the races remaining, we can score some good points to finish the season on a good way."

"And about our drivers for next season, there is nothing you do not know about Andriy, and about Benjamin, it has been a complicated decision that within the team has not sat very well, but I think that at least it will last for season 29. We will race with a car very similar to this season's, so we will not have that good results we have had until now, for then. I am sorry that it may dissapoint our 'tifosi', but the target is season 30 to be consistent from then, and also, get better results. Although, for now, we are 100% focused on the current season. While it lasts, let's not waste time talking about the next. "- concluded nicorz, joking with the team's future.

Without any doubt, Ferrari's position is, at this moment, really good, and for the future, a bit undecided. The promise is for season 30, where they want to do 'the jump', taking season 29 as a training for the thirtieth. Will they reach the position they deserve?
