As Hamilton gears up for his final season with Mercedes, various individuals have shared their thoughts on this significant move. Among them is former Mercedes driver, who has also weighed in on the matter.

According to Hamilton himself, there was something that drove him to seal the deal with Maranello starting from the upcoming season. Nonetheless, di Resta sees this move as “great news for motorsport.”
