Lewis Hamilton’s decision to join Ferrari has caused a stir in the Formula 1 community. Hamilton’s unexpected move to leave Mercedes at the end of the 2024 Formula 1 season has raised questions about his own performance and the future of Mercedes. With Red Bull’s dominance and Max Verstappen being the safest bet, it begs the question if Hamilton knows something others don’t. Perhaps his initial talks with Ferrari gave him the same feeling he had when he joined Mercedes. Representing the iconic red of Ferrari in the last few years of his career would be a great way to end his racing CV. Fernando Alonso believes Hamilton’s move to Ferrari indicates his belief in their ability to challenge for the title in 2025. Alonso points to Ferrari’s strong performance in the last season as evidence that the car is fast enough. Ferrari boss Frederic Vasseur sees Hamilton’s arrival as a huge opportunity for the team to compete at the top again. Charles Leclerc, Hamilton’s new race partner, was aware of Ferrari’s plans and appreciated their transparency. He looks forward to learning from Hamilton while also respecting his current teammate Carlos Sainz. Despite the upcoming changes, both Leclerc and Sainz remain committed to giving their all in the 2024 campaign.
