Lewis Hamilton is considered one of the most accomplished drivers in the history of motorsports. The engineer who collaborated with him during his early years in F1 recently revealed that Hamilton’s performance in the 2006 GP2 Sprint race in Turkey was the highlight of his racing career. According to Guyot, Hamilton’s display during the sprint race was nothing short of extraordinary.
During the GP sprint race in Turkey, Hamilton initially found himself in seventh place, but a spin early on dropped him to nineteenth. Despite the odds stacked against him, Hamilton demonstrated unwavering determination and fought his way back up to the podium. Guyot reminisced about the incident, acknowledging Hamilton’s bravery and his relentless pursuit of victory. This race showcased the ambition and hunger for success that would eventually lead Hamilton to claim multiple world championships.
The news of Hamilton’s move to Ferrari in 2025 created a significant buzz at the start of this season. A former F1 champion, who has been associated with Ferrari for a considerable period, expressed concerns about the potential challenges that Hamilton’s arrival may bring. Villeneuve, while discussing the situation, shared his thoughts on the matter.
Leclerc was initially brought into the Red team with the expectation of becoming a future world champion. However, his performance has already been overshadowed by his teammate. While Ferrari has traditionally given priority to Leclerc, the dynamics within the team are expected to change once Hamilton joins the Maranello-based squad. Considering all these factors, the team dynamics in 2025 will likely face significant upheaval.
