Dieter Zetsche: 'Strong Ferrari good for Formula 1'

Daimler chairman Dieter Zetsche says that Mercedes's close title fight with Ferrari this year is good for Formula 1.

Daimler chairman Dieter Zetsche has said that Mercedes's close title fight with Ferrari this year is good for Formula 1.

With a quarter of the 2017 season now in the past, Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel are tied on wins and separated in the standings by a mere six points.

"For the sport and all of us, a tight battle like that is good," Zetsche, the boss of the Mercedes parent Daimler, told Sky.

"Of course my nerves don't agree, but we are happy that Ferrari has made great progress.

"I have always said that the best way to win is by a margin of one point in the final race."

The 2017 season continues with the Monaco Grand Prix next Sunday.
