The 2025 season will be a new journey for the Formula 1’s most successful driver, Lewis Hamilton. Hamilton is set to leave the team which provided him with six world titles and join Ferrari. But the last 3 seasons were a major performance slump for both Hamilton and Mercedes. Now, as he moves to Maranello, his main mission will be to lead Ferrari back to the top.

Eddie Jordan expressed confidently that Lewis Hamilton will regain his top form and be ready to compete for the world championship in 2025. He believed strongly that anyone who doubts Hamilton’s ability to come back and win is mistaken. Therefore, Jordan has strong hopes that the Briton will shine at the prancing horse and clinch his dream by securing the eight world title.
Lewis will return to his best and next year he will return to fight for the World Championship, and anyone who says otherwise is wrong.Eddie Jordan said on Formula for success podcast
Further, Jordan mentioned, at the beginning of the season Lewis Hamilton was concentrating on his future with ferrari. He was focused on setting up his new team by bringing in the right people to work with him. Such as the aero-genius Adrian Newey who also announced his departure from Red Bull. His key part of the plan was ensuring that team principal Fred Vasseur would be there to support him. However, Newey had different plans and accepted a much bigger offer.
At the start of the season Lewis was focused on his future at Ferrari, getting the right people and making sure he had Vasseur alongside him.Eddie Jordan added.
