Fred Vasseur has demanded the very best of Lewis Hamilton‘s brilliance upon joining the Ferrari Formula 1 team next year. Hamilton is set to depart from Mercedes at the end of the ongoing campaign after spending over a decade with them.

Lewis Hamilton is the most decorated driver in the history of Formula 1. With 105 race wins and 200 podiums, the British driver has established his name as one of the very best. Hamilton makes his move to the Maranello-based team, eyeing an elusive eighth drivers’ championship.

Fred Vasseur has praised the 39-year-old for his organized nature both on and off the track. Vasseur then stated that Hamilton’s freedom outside the track would not be levied in any way upon his arrival in Maranello next year.

It's better to have a driver who has a good balance in his life. I want someone who is 200% focused when he's on the track, but it's not 365 days a year. One of Lewis’s greatest qualities, outside of F1, is that he is very well organised, able to switch off completely. I think that’s a good approach , but now we will have to discuss it.
Fred Vasseur said in an interview with La Stampa

Hamilton has been a prolific performer for the Silver Arrows, finding his form despite a slow start to the current season. He will now hope to continue his commendable feat of amassing wins and podiums with Ferrari in the upcoming season.

Different lines you're trying to discover, utilising different tyres, wind, crosswinds, all these different things and then you finally get someone in battle, that's the best thing, that's the most rewarding experience as a driver.
Lewis Hamilton spoke on the Performance People Podcast

Hamilton has emphasized the importance of experimentation to unlock the true capabilities of an individual while racing. He then claimed that the proper utilization of one’s skills on track is the most rewarding feeling of being a driver.

The 39-year-old has amassed 154 points in 15 races for Mercedes this campaign. Despite showing signs of improvement, the British superstar driver will have to perform better to uplift his team in the standings going forward.
