Lewis Hamilton is set to join Ferrari after spending 12 years with Mercedes. The announcement of this change has caused a stir in the F1 paddock, with many speculating on how it will affect the team dynamics and whether Hamilton and Ferrari will be a good match. However, Ferrari has dismissed these theories and believes the partnership will be mutually beneficial.
Hamilton is widely considered the greatest driver in F1 history. Although he has achieved many successes, he has not yet clinched his eighth world championship. On the other hand, Ferrari has faced difficulties in recent years, leading Hamilton to leave Mercedes and join their ranks.
There were concerns that having two star drivers in the same team could lead to conflicts and errors during races. However, Ferrari team boss Fred Vasseur is confident that this will not be an issue. He believes that Hamilton’s driving skills and Ferrari’s will complement each other and help the team achieve better results in the championship.
As mentioned earlier, Hamilton’s hiring by Ferrari means that Carlos Sainz Jr. will be left without a seat next season. This has led to speculation that Sainz may hold a grudge against Ferrari, as he was responsible for ending the team’s winning streak twice. However, Vasseur praised Sainz for his professionalism and revealed that he took the news graciously.
Sainz himself acknowledged that the situation is challenging, but he remains committed to giving his best in the 2024 season with Ferrari. He has promised to fight until the last lap in the SF-24. Despite this determination, Sainz’s future in F1 is still uncertain, and he is expected to make a decision during the summer break.
